What is your favorite part about working with portfolio companies/entrepreneurs?

I like people and I like solving problems. Most entrepreneurs are people and all entrepreneurs have problems that could benefit from a little help in solving… so it's a good relationship.

What do you do in your spare time?

Father of two kids and one sourdough starter. I'm a hobbyist woodworker, avid backcountry skier, masters swimmer, and practice yoga and breathwork daily.

When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?

Some version of Jeremiah Johnson or John Muir, preferably without any of the culturally inappropriate aspects and just the adult version of a kid's dream of living off the land in the Mountain West.
