Mission Driven: I seek to invest in innovators that are changing the world. I am currently doing this through AIN Ventures, where I am the cofounder and Managing Partner. AIN Ventures invests in dual-use technology (companies that make our country safer, operate more efficiently and have a strong commercial use case), and veteran-led startups (industry agnostic).

I consider myself quite lucky because I also get to invest in entrepreneurs through Techstars LA (https://www.techstars.com/accelerators/los-angeles)

Always Seeking to Improve: Kauffman Fellows Class 26 (https://www.kauffmanfellows.org/the-kauffman-fellows-program)

Personality: I am ESTP. I operate with a purpose and there is passion and drive behind the purpose. I am trying to maximize my eulogy virtues along with my resume virtues, and this thought process permeates throughout all the work that I do.

Experience: Growing up in Chicago and serving as a Naval Officer molded me. I have had a few other experiences along the way, primarily as an M&A Investment Banker.

U.S. Naval Academy (B.S) and Chicago Booth (MBA) Graduate.
