My passion is starting new projects that do two things- 1) build value 2) help people.
I've been fortunate enough to be able to do this in the personal finance world where many things have been done wrong and where most people are going through a tough time.
Entreprenuership, web startups, fundraising, building teams, venture capital, venture law, product development, new business development., ventures that involve regulatory complexity.

CEO and co-founder of Thrive, a company that provides free financial advice over the web to all who need it.
With the help of an amazing co-founder and a kick-ass team, not to mention some great investors and advisors, took an idea born from helping young people figure out their finances and turned it into Thrive. Four months after launching we sold to LendingTree and continue to work on our vision of building the best experience in personal finance.
