I have been in the investment business for 30 years. My focus is on social impact companies from early stage to late stage. Areas of expertise are in technology, consumer, food, agriculture, water. I seek companies led by passionate and visionary founders seeking to use business as a platform for positive impact in our lives and for our planet which have a strong economic foundation for profit. Seeking disruptive ideas which others say can not be done, which are being developed by leaders who say, it can be done, it has to be done and we will accomplish it! The mantra is YCWJD. You Can't, We Just Did!!!!

I am a private investor with an education in Finance and currently pursuing an MBA. My most recent career background is involvement of the operations side of distribution and inventory management of medical supplies. I intend to be an active investor, or potentially a partner, heavily involved in the marketing and operations strategy of a warehouse, distribution, and/or 3PL business with a focus on e-commerce clientele. To me, complacency is poison. My intent is to help drive a project home from a marketing and operations perspective. I hope not only to provide financial security to the project but also be hands-on and help motivate and provide experience and direction to the project.
