Pursuing my passion for wine, travel and helping to establish and grow great companies, I’m focusing my energies on new startups in the business social media arena. I also continue to make venture investments.
I’ve worked with venture-backed companies for 20 years in several capacities – as a founder, operator and venture capitalist. As an entrepreneur, I’ve established five companies, served on the senior management team of several early-stage organizations and provided venture capital funding to more than 100 start-ups. I’m one of the more experienced venture capitalists in the Pacific Northwest, having raised three funds totaling over $200 million.
I graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Stanford University, graduating with a B.S., M.A., and M.B.A. While at Stanford, I started and ran two successful companies. I grew up in Omaha, Nebraska and I’m a hardcore Nebraska Cornhusker fan. In my spare time, I collect sports ticket stubs.
