Summary
Business Accelerator. Revenue Generator. Operator of Complex Orgs. Global Deal Maker. Team Motivator. Public Company Officer. Storyteller. At heart, I am a creative business builder and been fascinated with advancements at the intersection of content and technology for more than 20 years (although I still think I'm 31 when I look in the mirror). I've founded companies, run businesses, launched products, forged partnerships, produced content, and succeeded and struggled on every platform. I’ve been involved in pioneering hits (the first X-Men movie), had wild rides (WME-IMG/Endeavor), gone public (Super League), and discovered the entrepreneurial meaning of "learning experiences." I've worked with powerful people, people who think they're powerful, and people who deserve more power. I've developed and practiced the values inherent in active and purposeful communications, strong mentorship, humble facilitation, the power of positivity, determined advocacy, and the importance of trust and delegation within a team. Through it all, whether as a CEO, Founder, Executive, Producer, Advisor or Investor, I have remained a tireless professional with a passionate desire to inspire and support my colleagues, to deliver meaningful outcomes, and to work with creative thinkers who are fundamentally good human beings. As the father of a special needs child, I have discovered that life is too short to spend much time around anyone else.
