IN CASE YOU'RE CURIOUS 

I'm born and raised in the Bay Area. I studied business at Georgetown University and started my career as a management consultant, helping companies build and launch new products.

When I learned about design, I fell in love. I leveraged my organized, methodical way of thinking to get into the design world as a Program Manager at frog. I was in heaven. I became a student of the design process and learned from some of the best designers and technologists in the world. I eventually transitioned to the creative team, started at the bottom, learned by doing, and worked my way up to Creative Director. I ultimately left frog to pursue my entrepreneurial calling and learn how to design a business.

In 2020, I co-founded Opto Investments, an investment technology company with the mission of helping make top-tier private investments accessible to more people. After leading Product, Operations, and Marketing, raising $170M in 2 rounds, and growing the team to 60, I decided to step away and return to my passion for improving our healthcare system. I’ve since been building Groove (and continue to advise startups through a16z, 8VC, and other networks).

I live in Berkeley with my wife (Katie), twin girls, and dog (Snacks). When not in front of a computer, I’m usually hiking, golfing, cycling, skydiving, snowboarding, or doing something else that's likely to end in an injury.
