My story

I started my career as a chemical engineer before attending law school and joining Kirkland & Ellis as an M&A attorney, advising some of the world's largest private equity funds and their portfolio companies.

I left K&E to start my entrepreneurial journey, first co-founding Rowgatta, a hybrid tech and retail fitness company in New York, and later as a founding partner of Pareto Holdings. At Pareto, I led 200+ investments, built our venture-studio, sat on boards, served as CEO for portfolio companies, and helped our portfolio raise over $100M.

Most recently I bought and operated a roofing company in South Florida through a leveraged buyout using SBA debt and seller financing. 

I've experienced many highs and lows and am motivated by helping others navigate their unique entrepreneurial rollercoaster. I now advise select founders, searchers, acquirers, and operators.

Outside of work, I'm passionate about health and fitness. I've completed two Ironmans, six marathons, CrossFit competitions, Hyrox, and countless other races. I've also been a certified personal trainer and CrossFit coach. I'm an avid traveler and scuba diver. I believe staying curious and pushing yourself physically and mentally makes you a better entrepreneur.
