I love new venture creation and the chaotic environment that surrounds this. I am active across several groups as a founder to help grow these companies through both capital and mentorship:

Independence Equity, an early stage venture fund.

Cornerstone Angels, an active private investment group composed of successful executives, entrepreneurs, and family offices

G4 Capital LLC and VentureLab, advisory firms that take either active interim executive roles or work as an outsourced partner in go-to-market and financial strategy development

Significant startup and investment experience that can be seen at LinkedIn

Serve on multiple emerging growth company boards, as well as on advisory board for the Institute for Sustainability and Energy (ISEN) and NUvention Energy at Northwestern University.

Passionate about travel, competitive sports, the outdoors, and great food, wines, and spirits.
