I am a wireless investor building and seeking market-moving companies that affect, or are affected, by the mobile revolution. My background is heavily weighted with domain experience in the wireless industry - sales, business development, and corporate venture capital in the carrier environment. The partners at my firm, OPENAIR Equity Partners, are wireless pros that collectively have more than 60 years of operating experience and have held industry titles such as CEO, COO, CIO, and General Counsel. We invest in early-stage through buyout deals.

I have invested in these areas:

  • Mobile commerce
  • Mobile backhaul
  • Mobile video
  • Network optimization
  • Machine 2 machine
  • Mobile gaming
  • Social networking
  • Device recycling

I have led and executed wireless industry business deals:

  • Wireless music services
  • Satellite content on wireless
  • Mobile financial services
  • Mobile internet
  • SMS and premium SMS
  • Mobile advertising
  • Dozens of wireless content deals
  • Mobile television

I have the world's greatest wife and two wonderful children. I used to play a lot of golf - and plan to re-enter this summer to pursue my quest to break 80 again.
