Founder

Tarsier Capital Management

I bet on people and value character over all else. I use my two conferences Ascent and Investor Summit to find great companies to invest in.

Seeking 2 micro cap or nano cap public companies to invest in per year. 

Seeking 2 seed stage SaaS or B2B companies to invest in per year.

Master of Business Administration, May 2012 with an emphasis in Strategy.

B2B events are changing.  The most value comes from smaller, highly targeted groups having deeper conversations. We focus on making networking EASY.

EASY Way = Fun + Authentic + Engaging + Meaningful Convos + Budget Friendly

The Old Way = Boring + Fake + Painful + transactional booths + awkward to break the ice + asynchronous content 


The Future of B2B Conferences = Justify the spend based on longer bottom of the funnel conversations with the decision maker 


Our audience:

• VPs and C-Level 
• Mid-Market - $5M to $1BN ARR
• B2B Software/Tech

My DMs are open if you'd like to see how Ascent can connect you with your buyers

I am also the founder of RealCISO.io, a cybersecurity risk assessment SaaS platform that helps businesses and organizations understand, manage, and mitigate their cyber risks easily and efficiently. As a Wiley published author and a creator and host of the #CISOlife YouTube and Podcast, I share my insights and expertise on the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, industrial control systems, and operational technologies. I am a certified CISSP, GICSP, and Security+, and an Eagle Scout. I enjoy mentoring and teaching, and I have served as an adjunct professor at Boston College.

Creator & Host

#CISOlife - https://www.youtube.com/c/sidechannel

LinkedIn, YouTube Video and Podcast on risk, cybersecurity, and #CISOlife. Zero sponsorships, no vendor influence, just pure riff.

Yesterday, I spent time with a group of Per Scholas learners who are investing real time and commitment into building their foundation in cybersecurity. We talked about real-world security work and how to make decisions that balance risk with business reality.

A big thank you to Mark McCurdy for inviting me to be part of the conversation.

Why do more MSPs, MSSPs, and vCISOs choose the RealCISO vCISO Platform as their client cyber program management platform?

Because they’re tired of juggling spreadsheets, outdated templates, and tools that weren’t built for how service providers actually work.

RealCISO gives them one place to run assessments, track progress, build executive-ready reports, and manage multiple clients without the noise.

Nearly 100 G2 reviews. 4.8 out of 5 stars.

Feedback straight from the people who use it every day.

If you’re running client security programs and want a platform that fits the way you operate—not the other way around—it’s worth a look.

RealCISO just crossed a milestone on G2: nearly 100 reviews with an average rating of 4.8 out of 5 stars.

What matters most to us is that this feedback comes directly from the people who rely on RealCISO every day—MSPs, MSSPs, CISOs, compliance leads, and security teams who need a practical, clear way to assess, improve, and demonstrate their cybersecurity program.

G2’s community highlights the top-rated solutions in the industry. Their reports give buyers an unfiltered view of how platforms actually perform. 

We’re proud that RealCISO continues to stand out.

Thank you to everyone who has shared their experience and continues to shape our roadmap.

Onward.
