Marketing is in my blood, but I’ve been all-in on deep tech since 2016. I believe everything I knew yesterday is obsolete today. I'm told I'm “relentless”. Pretty accurate.

My grandfather Bruce started in 1932 as a sign-painter, and growing up, I learned from him how to make things clear and stand out—even if it was initially for the (subscription) car wash my brother and I ran.

By age 5, I'd built my first app; by 7, I had my first website client. Since then, I founded 7 companies (raised 30M+ across them), exited 3, and helped launch products for 75+ startups and 150+ established brands spanning auto, tech, wellness, retail, construction, B2B, e-commerce, and Fortune 1000. So many lessons. So many.

I spent a decade in telecom, scaling a startup as CEO with Tier-1 carriers as clients. After my ADHD diagnosis in 2018, I saw the need to rethink how the web works for people on the spectrum. I brought in a new CEO, stayed through the transition, and in 2020 launched Touchless to create a patent-pending approach to web delivery.

In 2021, I co-founded Auto Genius to bring enterprise tech into automotive (which combined with Touchless in 2023). Now with 20+ on our team, Touchless is on a mission to make millions of sites faster, simpler, and frustration-free.

On occasion you'll find me speaking about ADHD or Autism, mentoring startups or seed investing in sectors I know.

Outside work, I travel (500K miles, 32 countries in the last decade), ski sometimes, and tackle a long list of hobbies. Mostly, I’m at my best when I’m locked onto a big problem and won’t let go until it’s solved.
