General Partner

I am a venture investor that focuses on enterprise technology companies. Early in my career, I co-founded and was CEO of atMadison.com. Founding and running a company in the heat of the dot-com bubble was an exciting and challenging experience that strongly influenced my decision to ultimately enter the venture business. Today, I enjoy the high of creating new businesses vicariously through the entrepreneurs I invest in. Additionally, I've spent time as a senior member of the corporate development teams at Microsoft and Electronic Arts. I also was part of the group that launched EA's original online gaming business (Pogo.com). During this part of my career, I learned an incredible amount about digital media, online services, and software businesses from some of the most successful executives in the technology industry. I earned my MBA from The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania and completed my undergraduate education at the University of Texas at Austin. I am also a graduate of the Kauffman Fellows Program. I'm a native Texan and foodie. When I'm not working, I enjoy trying to find great barbecue and southern food joints (unfortunately there are few in the Bay Area) and spending time with my wife and two sons.
