Background

Growing up, I thought I was going to be a filmmaker. I started my career as a software engineer, but I've spent most of my career building teams that make new ideas a reality. (More on that here.)

I love working with creative people to sort through complex, conflicting information to identify the most important things — and then getting those things done, urgently. People who know me well describe my top qualities as curiosity and tolerance of new ideas, a driven sense of urgency, optimism, and incisive thinking.

My life's work

Boulton & Watt

Building companies.

Creative inspirations

David Chang & Rick Rubin

They both combine genres to create something new, focus on the essence of what matters, and empowering other creators as an equal practice to their own self-expression.
