Operations
Began a long technical career in semiconductor manufacturing and process improvement.
ABOUT
More comfortable doing the work.
Putting myself out there has never come naturally.
But being behind the scenes does not mean I have to stay hidden.
MY STORY
I have been working with technology and businesses for more than three decades.
I have had successes, made mistakes, built companies, closed companies, invested, started over, and kept learning.
I grew up with a stutter, and for a long time I carried a lot of anxiety around speaking. I was often thinking about what I was going to say next instead of being fully present in the conversation.
In 2005, I decided to stop hiding from it and started The RaiderCast, a podcast I would go on to produce and host for ten years. The anxiety did not simply disappear. In 2025, I made another decision. Instead of worrying about my stutter or trying to stay ahead of the next word, I decided to own it.
Today I am building businesses, working with AI and automation, helping companies improve how they operate, exploring acquisitions, and working with good people on projects I think have real potential.
Being behind the scenes doesn't mean I have to stay hidden.
