I'm a former Marine, a die-hard baseball aficionado, and a self-proclaimed trivia buff living in the heart of the Bay Area. I have spent a good chunk of my career in the tech industry, but my roots run deep.
Raised in a small town in New Jersey by a school teacher and a police officer, I've got a passion for working with entrepreneurs who operate outside the confines of technology and my mission is change what we see when we think about an "tech" entrepreneur. That's something close to my heart, and I'm here to make it happen.
Imagine a world where every entrepreneur, regardless of background, could effortlessly harnesses the power of technology in their business to gain more time with their families and money in their pockets. That's the future we're forging by disrupting the disruptors and dismantling the walls surrounding technology and tech industry. That's a future worth fight for!
Numbers don't lie. Let's rewrite the narrative together. Let's pave the way for a new era of business that empowers, simplifies, and propels everyone forward. Let's embrace the endless possibilities.
I've been everywhere, man.
In 2012, I enlisted in the USMC reserves, serving as an intelligence specialist in a Combat Logistics Battalion.
In 2014, I went to The College of New Jersey and later transferred to Columbia University in New York, studying Economics and Philosophy.
In 2018, I started in the technology industry working with groundbreaking startups at 500 Startups and Schematic Ventures.
In 2020, I began two successful companies: GoGrow (gogrow.dev) and Builtfirst (builtfirst.com).
In 2023, I started julve.community to share what I learned with other founders who aren't familiar with technology or otherwise casted aside by it.
I've been covered in a wide array of business panels, podcasts, and magazines on representation in technology.
