I'm Co-founder & Partner at SparkLabs Group (www.sparklabsgroup.com), which is a network of startup accelerators and venture capital funds. We started this in 2013, and grown it to various entities that includes SparkLabs Korea, SparkLabs Taipei, SparkLabs Cultiv8, SparkLabs Global Ventures (seed-stage fund), and SparkLabs Ventures (series A fund for South Korea).

I was previously Co-founder & CEO of Vidquik, a web conferencing & sales solutions platform. Prior to this, Managing Director at the Lunsford Group, which is a private investment firm with holdings in real estate, healthcare and other industries. I was Co-founder & VP of Business Development of GoingOn Network, a social media platform for companies, and also led our product development where BusinessWeek recognized us in their "Best of the Web" list.

I'm a guest writer to various technology journals, such as VentureBeat, TechCrunch, Mashable and others.

I grew up in suburban Chicago (Northbrook!), and attended Wisconsin (Go Badgers!) and Columbia University. I have a strong interest in public policy and why I did the Coro Fellowship, a post-graduate leadership development program. I have lived in Springfield, IL, St. Louis, MO, NYC, HK, Seoul, San Francisco, and now reside in the Bay Area suburbs. I'm married to an incredible woman and we love watching our 3 kids grow.
