Summary
I have been founding and investing in technology companies since I downloaded Mosaic in the early 90s. 4 of these companies have reached $1B+ valuations & a few have been acquired. I have been fortunate to have worked on really interesting projects with fantastic business partners & some amazing teams. Also, I was an EY National Entrepreneur of the Year in 2018, which was a cool honor.
