My career spans nearly twenty years at the intersection of home industries (homebuilding, building materials, distribution, retail, home services, home finance), finance and strategy. My investment and strategy is vast having executed more than $1B in M&A transactions, generated more than $100 million in distributions of early-stage venture capital, developed M&A and corporate venture capital teams for a Fortune 50 corporation and sat on nearly a dozen boards of startups as early as seed stage. Most importantly, I have had the great fortune to develop and lead teams of talented individuals and help them achieve their career ambitions both within my teams and beyond. I enjoy working with passionate entrepreneurs who are thinking beyond what is possible today to help make tomorrow a reality. From high level enterprise strategy to detailed financial analysis to business development, I have been extremely fortunate to gain a rounded set of skills that enable to me to guide entrepreneurs and business leaders at all stages. I am open to connecting with all sources of potential strategic opportunities including entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, corporate executives, investment bankers, financial sponsors, and financial intermediaries.
