BUSINESS
In the ever-evolving world of business, I have established myself as a paragon of entrepreneurial tenacity, preservation and innovation. With over 25 years under my belt, I’ve journeyed through the complex terrains of startups, each venture teaching me more about resilience, strategy, and the art of leadership.
For more than two decades, I’ve immersed myself in the SaaS industry, not just as a participant but as a multifaceted leader. Whether steering the ship as CEO or meticulously crafting products as Head of Product, each role I’ve taken on has enriched the chapters of my robust business narrative.
A hallmark of my expertise lies in my gift to anticipate market shifts. My vision has always extended beyond immediate success; it’s about building lasting value for every stakeholder involved. I pride myself on my ability to convey strategic objectives clearly, rallying teams (from board directors to entry-level employees), and instilling a culture of ambition and top-tier performance.

When I’m not navigating the world of startups and SaaS, I’m often found embracing the great outdoors. Born and raised in the sun-kissed terrains of San Diego, specifically the vibrant community of Ocean Beach, I’ve always had a deep affinity for the natural world. This love has manifested in my dedication to intense endurance sports. Whether it’s the rhythmic cadence of a run, the exhilarating speed of a bike ride, or the refreshing embrace of an open-water swim, every day is an adventure in motion for me. Triathlons and stage mountain bike racing aren’t just hobbies; they’re a testament to my belief in pushing boundaries and embracing challenges head-on.
But there’s another side to me, one that’s equally passionate and perhaps a bit unexpected: my profound love for Rottweilers. Over the years, I’ve not only raised these majestic creatures but have also trained several generations of high-performance search and rescue dogs. The bond I share with them goes beyond companionship; it’s about teamwork, trust, and a shared sense of purpose. When we’re not on a mission, you might find us at dog shows, showcasing the elegance and prowess of this incredible breed.
Exploring cities on foot is another passion of mine. There’s something magical about discovering a new cities hidden gems, the whispering stories that illuminate the alleyways, and the spirited history that echoes in its bustling squares.
At the heart of it all is my commitment to giving back. From mentoring at-risk youth, showing them the boundless possibilities that lie ahead to volunteering in K9 Search and Rescue missions, every moment spent in service is a moment cherished. I’ve also had the privilege of teaching and coaching at San Diego State University, sharing insights on entrepreneurship and venture capital, hoping to inspire the next generation of innovators.
While business is a significant part of my narrative, it’s these personal passions and commitments that truly define who I am. They are the threads that compose the tapestry of my life, each one telling a story of adventure, compassion, and relentless pursuit of excellence.
With over two decades in the entrepreneurial realm, I’ve navigated the intricate dance of building businesses from scratch. I’ve celebrated the euphoria of breakthroughs and learned from the missteps. It’s this rich culmination of experiences that I would like to to pass on to the next generation.
