I've been an entrepreneur for the past 15+ years. I've invested, consulted or launched businesses in multiple industries during that timeframe. Those industries include hi-tech, legal, sports & entertainment, consumer products, cannabis, health and wellness and many others. I've also worked with dozens of professional athletes (mainly NFL and NBA) in helping them build brands and transition to a post-playing career. I've also run an Insurtech business accelerator and been a lead mentor on the Social Venture accelerator as well. I have a real passion for creating great companies, building economic opportunity for the underestimated community and serving on boards in the non-profit arena. My core areas of expertise are on business strategy, sales, marketing and distribution channels.
