Tech Startup CEO

Since 1994, I have been the Founder of several software companies, which have raised millions in investment capital and employed dozens of individuals. Presently I coach entrepreneurs, advise early-stage investors, and occasionally take pictures.

Photography

Entrepreneurs, architecture, events, products, and nature – I specialize in shooting in available light, with full-frame Nikon DSLRs and the latest glass: 85mm f1.4, 50mm f1.4, 20mm f2.8, 24‑70mm f2.8, 70‑200mm f2.8, 28‑300mm f3.5-5.6, and 24mm PC‑E for architecture. When strobes are necessary, I use SB-400/700/900 portable flashes and Calumet 400w studio lights.

From Hacker to Advisor

After leading my own startups to the point of closing sales with Fortune 500s, I learned my real interest is early-stage tech entrepreneurship. I advise CEOs, assist startups, and photograph founders. I hold an MBA from IMD in Switzerland, a BA in eMusic from Bennington College in Vermont, and survived Stuyvesant High School in NYC.
