Chief Marketing Officer / Cofounder

Impact Driven General Partner, Husband, Entrepreneur, and Builder.

As a General Partner at SPLYCAP, I contribute two decades of startup experience in technology leveraging a non traditional venture capital firm.

The list of “do’s” and “don’ts” is long.

As an experienced venture capital operator of $100M+ in LP assets, from high net worth individuals to family offices and institutional backers, including international venture funds, I set out to take a different approach to managing deals and investors.

Entrepreneur turned Operator turned Venture Capitalist. A non-believer in passive positions with a rolling up the sleeves mentality towards working with management teams across growth, product, finance, and recruiting. 

I reside in Ann Arbor, MI near my wife and I’s family and roots. New Zealand ex-pat.
