I’m a serial e-commerce entrepreneur with more than two decades of experience in DTC brands. I am currently the founder and CEO of Popsmith. We wanted to create an elevated popcorn experience fit for foodies, home entertainers, and popcorn enthusiasts alike. Centered around our sleek, modern design, and American sourced corn – we believe that we’ve created something special, and we can’t wait to share it with you. Previously, I’ve founded a variety of other companies including Franklin's Gourmet Popcorn, Gumballs.com, Wicker.com, & Chocolate.com. My entrepreneurial journey traces back to selling gumballs at school when I was 12 years old. Years later, I started a gumball machine vending route in the Pacific Northwest and shortly after began selling gumball machines online at Gumballs.com when I was 21 years old. This became my first successful online business, and I’ve continued to grow, diversify into other products and industries ever since then. Additionally, I’ve invested and advised a variety of business owners and e-commerce, DTC brands, startups across a variety of industries.
