About me

I'm a founder and entrepreneur, currently based in Sarasota, Florida. But I never thought I'd be here.

I grew up in Canada, studied finance and accounting, and expected to follow a traditional career path. Instead, a lot of traveling and a few side projects led me to a life of building startups.

Over the years, my co-founder and I have built and sold a handful of businesses. One exit was small, two were meaningful, and all of them were valuable learning experiences rather than life-changing windfalls.

Today, I'm focused on growing Snappa, the company my co-founder and I started back in 2015. Alongside that, I run SRQ Weekly — the best way to find events and things to do in Sarasota.

This site serves as a home for my writing, past projects, and favorite podcast appearances.

Outside of work, I enjoy working out, playing golf, and spending time with my family.
