IN A NUTSHELL
Born and raised outside of Boston and currently living in New Orleans. I've done some traveling in the past decade, mostly nomadic work endeavors in cities I was interested in. Been in NOLA twice as long as I stayed anywhere else and it's become my offical second home. I've always been lucky, and I'd rather be lucky than good anyday. I won the love-lottery and my partner in crime, Lauren, who has held me down since high school, continues to do so here in NOLA.
The past decade has been spent building early-stage companies from the ground up. Started in real-estate and mortgages, following emerging markets, managing teams, celebrating successes and learning from failures. Switched to technology in 2009 and never looked back. My first tech-startup raised almost 100mm in VC funding, grew from 10 to almost 100 employees and I was lucky enough to manage one of the most talented sales team I've ever been a part of. Currently I manage the business side of things for NOLA's center for Creativity, Revelry Labs. In 24 months we've grown from 2 to 12 employees and havn't taken a dime of outside funding.
