Experience

1. Managing Director

   Prota Ventures

   Jan 2016 — Present

   Prota is an operator-investor group that works with founders and enterprises to ideate, validate, create, grow, and fund new ventures. Learn more about us at On the personal front, in 2005 I learned how to write code, build scalable web applications, and founded both a web hosting company and a digital marketing company that spun up and operated dozens of sub-projects/ventures. After a series of exit events about ten years ago, I helped start a number of new ventures (both digital and brick-and-mortar), including a couple schools, a coffee shop, and ultimately a \"venture-studio / build-studio / VC\" hybrid organization that my partners and I now call Prota.
