About me

I'm a founder and entrepreneur, currently based in Sarasota, Florida.

I studied finance and accounting and initially planned on a traditional career, but I eventually caught the entrepreneurship bug. What started as side projects turned into a full-time pursuit, and I've been building startups since 2015.

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. Our most notable startup was Snappa, a design tool we bootstrapped to over $1M in annual recurring revenue without any outside funding.

Today, my main focus is building GoodMetrics, a website analytics tool done right. Alongside that, I co-run SRQ Weekly with my wife, a local newsletter covering what's happening around 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.
