I'm a strategic, action-oriented and empowering startup software entrepreneur who builds great software organizations and SaaS products. What I enjoy most about my work is crafting teams with the right mix of personalities and expertise, then evolving the work environment to fit them and the company's mission like a glove.

Occasionally I like to get out from the SF bubble. Teach English in Italy? Sign me up. Set up an office of developers in Ukraine in the dead of winter? Done. Eat my way to the best vera pizza Napoletana on the planet? YES! I take my coffee seriously (roast my own beans, work a prosumer machine, trained in latte art by Blue Bottle). I have a soft spot for Italian food and clothes.

I like to go biking and hang out with my son Ryan (museums, sports, video games, and passing him gum when Mom isn't looking).
