I love helping entrepreneurs make money. I hate wasting their time. So here are six quick things about me in sixty seconds.

  1. I began my entrepreneurial journey in an unconventional way. Four years ago, my brother and I started a podcast in our parent’s basement. It’s now an 80+ country global movement of young people ending polarization through conversation. We’ve recorded with the likes of Gary Vaynerchuk, Cal Newport, and Nupol Kiazolu.
  2. I’ve advised a dozen startups in the last four years. CPG, SaaS, greentech, edtech, healthtech. You name it. Main areas of support: go-to-market strategy, digital marketing, and fundraising.
  3. I co-founded and directed a student-led venture advisory at Georgetown University that helped six startups raise $375k in our first year of operations.
  4. I began my career in venture capital at the young age of 20. I spent a year honing my deal sourcing, diligence, and investing skills across two funds, Blu Ventures and Picus Capital.
  5. My primary focus is building Circle Park, a story-first marketing agency. We've built campaigns for companies like Calm.com.
  6. I have not given up on my creative ambitions! I continue to host my show, have produced for a top 1% news podcast, and write on Medium here and there, but I’m especially passionate about the intersection between business and creativity. I have structured $100k in fundraising to finance audio and video shows for a book publisher. I have also helped multiple creators monetize their art by doubling their brand deal rates and building new businesses to serve their digital communities.

Please feel free to contact me. I’m always looking forward to an insightful conversation.
