About Me

I love entrepreneurship, deal making, fund raising, and strategy … and, yes the latest in tech gadgetry.

I have spent the past 14 years as an entrepreneur serving large enterprises and businesses with application software and web services offerings. Currently, I am the co-founder, President & CEO of Appconomy, where we make apps to power your own economy. Prior to Appconomy, I was co-founder of Moxie Software (fka nGenera), where I served as Executive Vice President of Corporate Development, Products & Marketing.

Prior to Moxie Software, I was co-founder, President & CEO of Kalivo, Inc., a leading Enterprise 2.0 Commercial Software-as-a-Service provider, where we provided solutions that enabled companies to engage directly with their customers across the Web. Kalivo was sold to Moxie Software.

I was also the co-founder and CEO of iMark.com, a business-to-business web marketplace for trading surplus goods that was sold to then publicly-traded FreeMarkets (currently Ariba, NASDAQ: ARBA) in March 2000 for $340 million. My team at iMark and I were finalists for the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year award in Austin, TX in 2000.

Currently, I also serve as a member of the Advisory Council for Entrepreneurship@Cornell, Cornell University’s university-wide entrepreneurship program, and the board of directors of ADRevolution. My educational background includes an MBA from Harvard Business School and a BS in Engineering from Cornell University.

In addition to enjoying time with my family, my other personal interests include running, reading, anything to do with the web or electronic gadgets, and the New York Yankees, Buffalo Sabres and Dallas Cowboys.

My current seed investments are with Matt Cohen, founder of OneSpot (Austin, TX), and Andrew Westmoreland, founder & CEO of ADRevolution, where I also have a seat on the board of directors.
