About me

From the mat to the market.

My career isn't a list of jobs; it's one story about performing under pressure and building things that matter.

Athletics

Former USA national-level Taekwondo athlete, competing at the highest levels. The mat taught me discipline, resilience, and how to keep composure under pressure.

Professional

My foundation is in tax, accounting, and finance, with experience at Andersen, CarbonSustain, and VITA spanning corporate tax, climate-tech incentives, and community tax preparation.

Building

Today I build end-to-end automation systems, especially for complex financial workflows, and share the journey publicly as I go.

Investing

I've moved into angel investing and the startup ecosystem, and I'm connected with venture groups including Long Journey Ventures and Decile Group. I invest personally and don't represent those firms.
