Founder. Operator. Investor. Educator. No matter the role, I’ve always believed in trusting your instincts and never outsourcing your judgment.
 
That mindset has led me down an unconventional path from poverty to investor. I grew up in Queens, hawking flowers on street corners and working at McDonald’s to help put food on the table. On a mission to transcend poverty as fast as possible, I dropped out of high school at 16 to work full-time and enroll in college early.
 
Over the next decade, I earned a law degree from Fordham at night and began a career as the youngest press secretary in NYC history, where I helped manage the global press response to 9/11.
 
I went on to be an executive for two NFL teams, found/invest in some of the most dynamic brands through RSE Ventures, and become a guest shark on ABC’s Shark Tank (seasons 10-11) as well as an executive fellow at Harvard Business School, where I co-teach "Moving Beyond Direct-to-Consumer." 
 
Always looking to meet great founders and the people who invest in them.

CEO and Cofounder at RSE Ventures | WSJ Bestselling Author: Burn the Boats, Harper Collins, 2023 | Executive Fellow at Harvard Business School

I strive to be the most positive person on LinkedIn.  Life is a challenge, and sometimes People just need a confidence boost to take it to the next level.  I enjoy work-life in Commercial Real Estate after 20+ years in Software and Management including 3 Tech Startups.  I devote a lot of time to Coaching and Advising new Founders and Entrepreneurs about the journey that lies ahead (pitching, funding, networking).  I also participate in Angel rounds where there's a good fit.  There are no questions too small or insignificant to ask me.  I've been there and can appreciate the need for answers almost 24/7 as a Founder myself.  I'm always happy to connect and provide any positive insights and/or Inspiration I can.  I've worked with Startups in Software, Social, Crypto, Mobile, Medical, Health & Wellness, Shipping, Food, Apparel and now I've added Real Estate.  What's amazing is even though each industry has big differences, the motions and milestones for startup companies remain pretty consistent, including the hurdles and pitfalls.  Feel free to reach out if you want a friendly sounding board!
