Welcome!
Entrepreneurship is one of the single greatest forces in this world. Originally, I launched this site to tell my story and to use the blog to create a space for entrepreneurs to dig into the path. As my path evolves I look forward to sharing what I learn with all of you.
I have been an entrepreneur all of my career. I launched a venture funded company in 2003, we raised 4 rounds of financing, launched 5 products to market and did more pivots than I care to think about. I helped a friend successfully sell their company, I helped launch Broadtreepartners a private equity fund, and I have been active in running one of Broadtree’s first acquisitions – ListEngage.
