IN CASE YOU'RE CURIOUS 

I'm born and raised in the Bay Area. I studied business at Georgetown University and started my career as a management consultant, helping companies build and launch new products.

When I learned about design, I fell in love. I leveraged my organized, methodical way of thinking to get into the design world as a Program Manager at frog. I was in heaven. I became a student of the design process and learned from some of the best designers and technologists in the world.

I discovered that my greatest passions and abilities were as an interaction designer. I started at the bottom, learned by doing, and ultimately worked my way up to Creative Director. Wanting to stay closer to the hands-on design work and have more ownership of the products that I was pouring myself into, I left frog to pursue my entrepreneurial calling and learn how to design a business.

In 2020, I co-founded Opto Investments, an investment technology company where I led Product, Operations, and Marketing. After raising $170M in 2 rounds and growing the team to 55 strong, I decided to step away in June and start exploring new businesses (while continuing to advise startups through a16z, 8VC, and otherwise).

I live in Berkeley with my wife (Katie), twin girls, and dog (Snacks). When not in front of a computer, I’m usually hiking, golfing, cycling, bowling, golfing, skydiving, snowboarding, or doing something else that's likely to end in an injury.
