Entrepreneurs make the world a better place, solving one big problem at a time.
I 'm hellbent on improving the Venture Capital market in the Midwest - helping entrepreneurs dream bigger (20x+) and helping investors find venture-scale opportunities.
I've had a fun career, with experiences ranging from being a tech founder to working at a VC to organizing angel capital.
The highlights are almost always the relationships forged during the hardest times.

The midwest has seen a surge in Venture activity over the last 10 years and I've been lucky to be a part of this groundswell, first as a founder and now as an investor.
I manage groups of angel investors, most with a connection to the Dayton area. My goal with this activity is to elevate Dayton's tech startup ecosystem and inspire companies and investors to dream bigger.
More to come.
Rev1 Ventures, I had the good fortune of serving as the fund's lead on these deals. I'm proud of these entrepreneurs and will root for them through thick and thin.
These companies were collectively worth about half a billion.

Life is what you make of it. I do my best to make the most of it.
I have a wonderful family based in downtown Dayton. We spend most of our play time chasing our kid around, bringing stuffed animals to life with silly voices, and swinging so high that the chains go slack.
When I'm not fully consumed by parenting, I'm probably helping spread an old Belgian folk game called Feather Bowling (it's like bocce and curling, mashed together) around the US. Learn more about that hobby here > playfeatherbowling.com
