I am obsessed with finding efficiencies. Our partners’ time and founders’ time do not scale, so I want to make sure everyone is able to hyperfocus on what they do best and let me handle the rest.

A little while ago I was testing products at Ring Doorbell and they had me film a camera installation at my house. That video now has close to 1M views. Apparently the CEO liked it so much that he wanted me to be filmed installing all of their products. They even paid me to do it!
I have run the gamut of finance roles in Los Angeles after graduating from UC Santa Barbara. I started my career at Deloitte as an Audit Manager in the Technology, Manufacturing and Telecommunications (TMT) group. After that, I helped a number of later-stage startups in Los Angeles, most notably TrueCar, where I played a key role in the company’s IPO filing.
For the better part of the last decade, I worked at Evolution Media Capital, a private equity fund formed in a partnership between TPG Growth Capital and Creative Artists Agency (CAA), and Platinum Equity. At both funds I worked closely with our portfolio companies to implement best practices in finance and operations.
I am a licensed CPA in the State of California (Inactive).
I live in Los Angeles with my wife Jesse and our three young boys. When I am not coaching the kids in soccer or other sports you can find me working on my golf game.
