Entrepreneur, builder, and angel investor. For more than two decades, I’ve turned curiosity into products, companies, and hard-earned lessons—while staying grounded as a husband and father.
I’m open to starting something from zero, joining something already in motion, or collaborating on a promising idea. I’m equally at home building independently or alongside a sharp, curious team. I’m waiting for the problem, people, or idea I can’t stop thinking about.
Have something in mind? Let’s talk
Early and growth-stage bets across defense, space, consumer, and developer tools.
Map the commercial space industry across five capability layers. Explore the companies, supply-chain relationships, programs, and technologies behind each mission.
An iOS app that connects your daily activities to your actual sleep data. Personalized plans, real insights — no generic advice. Works with Apple Watch, Oura Ring, Whoop, and Garmin.
A 10,000 sq ft office property in Beavercreek, Ohio, where I rent flexible workspace to local small businesses.
A few defining chapters—companies built, risks taken, and lessons that still shape how I work today.
Led marketing and operations as Rivalry grew beyond 150 people, generated tens of millions in revenue, and became a publicly listed company. The financial outcome wasn’t the one I hoped for, but the scale, complexity, and hard-earned lessons reshaped how I build.
Helped build JamPlay from its first line of code and first customer, leading development and marketing as the online education company grew from zero revenue into a profitable, multimillion-dollar business. I later exited by selling my ownership stake.
Ranked top 10 in Red Alert and Unreal Tournament, reached Rank S in StarCraft, competed internationally, and later played StarCraft II in Korea. Sponsors paid me to travel the world, and tournament finishes brought in thousands in prize money.
Created Yikers.com from my parents’ house at 17 and grew it into an early video-entertainment destination—before YouTube made online video mainstream. The eventual sale gave me a mid-six-figure exit.
At 14, I started making joke sites, video-game cheat databases, and yes—emulator and ROM communities. Built in Notepad over dial-up with almost no supervision, those projects generated hundreds of thousands in profit and became the foundation for everything that followed.
