I was born in New York City and moved to San Francisco in 1994.

I have spent my entire career in tech, and for the past five years have driven partnerships and strategic initiatives for LinkedIn. Prior to LinkedIn, I spent several years at Yahoo!, worked at the M&A; firm Broadview, founded a venture consulting firm, and co-founded a Web globalization company eTranslate.

I enjoy supporting passionate entrepreneurs and have made several private investments including: Wealthfront, Rakuten (JASDAQ:4755), The 21st Amendment, Sokanu, Rapidbuyr and TraceLink. My wife and three daughters are the reason why I am the luckiest man on earth.
