Hey 👋
I'm currently a multi-stage fintech investor at Nyca Partners. I spend a lot of time thinking about economics, politics, and technology and collect interesting pieces of macro data.
I'm interested in credit, capital markets, crypto, and more. Please reach out if you're building, investing, or just thinking about any of those areas.
Previously, I was an early-stage software investor at Storm Ventures, made pre-seed and seed investments out of my own fund, Horseshoe Capital Partners, and founded a data infrastructure startup called Chromata.
I "studied" business at the University of Southern California, watch too much 🏈, and play 🎾 when I can. I was born in Columbus, Ohio and grew up in the suburbs of Seattle.
Just a list of my half-formed thoughts so feedback is appreciated. Also doubles as a list of things I've invested in, want to invest in, or generally want to see built. I also previously wrote for Geekwire.
