My Journey

I grew up in Denver. My first job was scalping tickets outside Red Rocks Amphitheater so I could spend the night inside, soaking up live music. As a Senior at Yale, I left school to start RippleMatch.

RippleMatch helped millions of people launch their careers, raised more than $75 million from investors and was acquired by JobGet. Building the company was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. It also brought every kind of challenge you can imagine.

During that journey, I began advising other founders and investing in early-stage startups — three of which, with hard work from some amazing founders, grew into billion-dollar companies. I love helping other founders build fulfilling, impactful companies and lives.

I live in Brooklyn with my wife, Paige, a therapist, and our Great Dane, Tuna.
