I'm a hands-on operator who's partnered with visionary product founders to build and scale their companies. I get into the details: running systems, closing deals, building processes — then step back to help each team see how they fit into the whole.
I'm currently CEO at Stacks Labs. I got into crypto because I believe in free markets and global economic access, and joined Stacks because they took the principled route as the only successful SEC-qualified token offering.
Through chaotic.capital, I invest in and advise early-stage founders building for complexity, helping them see around corners by navigating the operational challenges that aren't obvious until you've seen them before.
I've spent most of my career on enabling technologies, including 8 years at Stack Overflow, where I partnered with Joel Spolsky to run operations and launch the enterprise business from $0 to $10M+, teach companies how to build developer communities of their own.
Before tech, I produced concerts, where execution was everything. That’s also where I learned that you get the best out of a team when you’ve gotten your hands dirty enough to understand each function.
