I’m a founder and operator. Most recently, I co-founded NexDrop, where we worked to improve last-mile delivery through software, automation, and emerging technologies.

I've always been drawn to building and selling things. It started with merch in high school, then teaching myself to code and experimenting with ideas across software, marketplaces, and AI.

I consider Ohio home, though I’ve lived in Dallas most of my life. These days, I write small checks into cool startups, advise founders, and travel whenever I can. And yes, I'm a Buckeye fan.

I lost my hearing to meningitis at 13 months old and have used cochlear implants for the past 23 years. Growing up with hearing loss shaped the things I care about, including my Eagle Scout project, which focused on improving communication between deaf and hard-of-hearing drivers and police officers.

Outside of work, I volunteer at a summer camp for kids with cochlear implants and help families navigate hearing loss. It's something that's only become more meaningful to me over time.
