I root for the underdog, for those punching above their weight with original thought, independence and a drive to persist in the face of uncertainty. As a St. Louis native with suburban roots, I developed a curiosity and global appetite for learning early on that would ultimately shape my approach to venture capital and what I prioritize in life.

As a Principal at Forerunner, I work with startup founders across categories who are moving the needle toward good. My passion for early-stage investing is driven by a genuine interest in people and a forward-looking view on their emerging needs and evolving expectations.
