I am an entrepreneur and investor who has co-founded several companies and invested in a number of others. I operate out of Firehouse Capital, Inc., a privately held investment company that makes entrepreneurial investments in early stage technology companies, real estate, and other interesting opportunities.

Over the past twenty five years, I co-founded several companies including Yandex, CompTek, and InfiNet Wireless in Russia. My partner and I started our first company in Moscow in 1990 and have been at it ever since.

I am an investor and/or board member in several other high growth companies, and devote a great deal of time to non-profit work in my community and beyond. I have been self-employed all but seven years of my career -- those years were spent at Forrester Research and Mercer Management Consulting.
