As the Managing Partner at Deal Box Ventures, I leverage over 30 years of strategic capital markets advisory experience, adeptly guiding companies through M&A and exit events. My expertise spans financial technology, blockchain, tokenization, and web3, where I have established strong collaborations with Fortune 500 enterprise software companies. I am also the Founder and CEO of Deal Box, a pioneering blockchain-enabled financial services firm that specializes in tokenizing real-world assets. Our emphasis on private equity, venture capital, and early-stage investments positions us at the forefront of emerging industries. In addition, I hold the role of Chairman and Co-Founder of True I/O, a global leader in blockchain infrastructure technology services and applications. Outside of my professional endeavors, I am passionate about action sports, and enjoy surfing, skateboarding, and snowboarding, and played a pivotal role in the development of wakeboarding. My contributions to the sport have been recognized with my induction into the Wakeboard Hall of Fame, an honor that underscores my commitment to pushing boundaries both on the water and in business. I currently reside in Hawaii with my wife and our five sons.
