My expertise spans across multiple industries, from tech to food and beverage. Currently, I invest in startups and co-own Saddleback BBQ and Slice by Saddleback, which has expanded to four profitable locations since 2015.

I helped scale the company from a handful of employees to nearly 450, increasing revenue from a few million to $70 million in annual recurring revenues. My responsibilities included marketing strategy, sales management, brand development, and new media advertising. I was also instrumental in launching Liquid Web's proprietary cloud computing platform, Storm On Demand. We successfully sold Liquid Web to a private equity firm in 2015 for $224,000,000. During my time at TechSmith, I held the role of Product Manager for Camtasia SDK. I worked closely with engineers to translate customer feedback into product innovations, created Marketing Requirements Documentation, and traveled globally to engage with customers and partners for strategic sales. Throughout my career, I have consistently demonstrated my ability to drive growth, innovate, and achieve success for the organizations I've been part of. I'm always eager to leverage my skills and experiences to help businesses scale profitably.
