Invest your talent in companies
and build future cash flows

Hello! I live in Rochester, MN, after growing up and living in Minneapolis. My professional focuses are Last Mile Products (software consulting/product company), The Shoe (beverage bar in Rochester, MN opening September 2025), and Quincy Street Studio (recording studio in Northeast Minneapolis).

I'm a lifelong entrepreneur and leader who is passionate about good design, big ideas, and strong communities. I am most energized by work at the intersection of entrepreneurship, equity, and technology. I find the path from napkin to traction exhilarating and have traveled it multiple times personally and with clients. I hold a degree in Studio Art from Grinnell College and have spent the past 20 years mastering the art of business in leadership roles across Product, Sales, Finance, and Operations for organizations ranging from startups to public companies. I hold several patents, am a Minnesotan on the Move award recipient, and have served on non-profit boards including MetroIBA, St. Paul Central High School Foundation (Chair), and Unity Church-Unitarian (President).

Entrepreneur and lover of life! Enjoy talking startups, blockchain, and all things founder related. I'm helping to create winwinGO!
