Ever met someone who's as passionate about building world-class engineering teams as they are about their morning workout? 👋 That's me – a 2x founder and tech talent matchmaker who treats recruiting like an Olympic sport (former college athlete habits die hard). I've built and scaled engineering and product teams across the tech spectrum – from fresh-faced seed startups to pre-IPO powerhouses in AI, SaaS, Fintech, HealthTech, and Web3. Think of me as your organization's talent whisperer, but with spreadsheets. When I'm not connecting with brilliant engineers (and I mean hundreds of them), you'll find me diving deep into podcasts like Tim Ferriss, 20VC, TWIST, All IN, Modern Wisdom, etc – because the only thing better than building great teams is understanding what makes them tick. I'm that guy who can seamlessly transition from discussing system architecture to debating the merits of the carnivore diet (yes, really). Weekends? Catch me soaking up the Santa Monica sunshine, conquering Malibu trails, or cheering on the Tennessee Vols (sometimes simultaneously – I'm a multitasker). Whether you're looking to scale your engineering dream team, exploring your next career move, or just want to geek out about the latest Paleo research, let's connect. Fair warning: I might try to convince you that grass-fed ribeye is the ultimate brain food. PS: This people person has never met a conversation he didn't like – especially if it involves building incredible organizations or optimizing human performance. Let's chat! If you’d like to learn more about how we can help your company or help you personally - or potentially you just want to discuss the latest Paleo, Attia, or Huberman podcast, please do reach out at any time.

Tech, finance, and startup pro with a background in investment banking, PE, VC, and building software companies as a founder / leader across sales, partnerships, GTM, and ops. Started in finance – closed $2.4B+ in M&A at Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein and on deal teams that wrote $1B+ worth of checks at American Capital. Then dove headfirst into startups: built Atmospheir (social CRM) to ~2M weekly active users (backed by Qualcomm Ventures) before leading GTM at PEAK6 and scaling a portfolio of FinTech, Crypto, AI, and Data Analytics ventures. More recently: Helped launch and scale the next wave of founding-stage recruiting businesses and networking tech – drove partnerships at Hunt Club / Atlas (SaaS) as GM (from Seed to $40M Series B (WestCap), revenue from $7.5M to $30M), co-built Quantum’s growth engine as Founding Partner - BD (revenue from $5M to $20M), and advised Coastal as Fractional CRO (6 months / revenue from $1.5M to $4M). Lifelong athlete (Varsity Soccer and Track & Field at Cornell). Always hyped to build what’s next.
