Work

My time is shared between helping teams working on new ventures, and as Founding Principal at South Mountain Products creating new products for modern cyclists who love riding dirt.

You've probably seen my work at Western Digital/Upthere, Sonos, and dozens of companies I helped spin out of MIT as an Entrepreneur in Residence at the Martin Trust Center for Entrepreneurship.
Recently, I was on the Exec team at cleantech company TAE Power Solutions as we spun the new venture out of nuclear fusion company TAE Technologies.
