Prior to Botkeeper my background has been in automation, decision trees, and accounting with a triple major from Babson College in Quantitative Methods, Entrepreneurship, and Strategic Management. While in college I co-founded ThinkLite which automated lighting analysis, design, and manufacturing. ThinkLite grew from dorm room to 46 on Inc's 500 List and resulted in my being ranked 2nd among America's Top 25 Entrepreneurs Under 25 by Bloomberg Businessweek. After successfully exiting ThinkLite, I invested in and helped grow a cloud accounting firm from 7 to 40 people in the 3 short years. Outside of Botkeeper I am an investor and advisor several businesses venture funds. I also sit on the Technology Advisory Committee & Board of Corporators at Fidelity Bank. In my personal life, I enjoy spending time with my wife, two daughters, and dog as well as binge-watching movies and TV, skiing with friends, brainstorming with other entrepreneurs, and island hopping off the coast of Saint Petersburg FL.
