PORTFOLIO.
The story of the hero's hustle is overated.
I choose to collaborate across high-trust networks that share their time, talent, treasure,
and ties to effect positive change for people, planet, and place.

In 2025, my portfolio of work is focused on redefining value creation through ecosystems
in deep tech and beneficial AI, creative placemaking, and impact investing.
IMPACT INVESTING
CHANGING THE CAPITAL ALLOCATION GAME
After two decades of seeing the transformative power of venture capital, corporate finance, and economic development, I remain a big fan of capitalism. However, it needs to evolve from the zero sum game of consumer economies to the positive sum game of generative ecosystems. ROI should stand for return on impact--social, economic, AND environmental impact.
My roles in the spectrum of investing include Managing Director of The Rainmakers Global consultancy, Founding GP at ThirdPlace Partners, and Advisor to Imagine Global fund & Berkeley Skydeck accelerator.
COLLABORATIVE CAUSES
EVOLVING THE WAY WE GIVE
We are in the midst of history's greatest global wealth transfer of $120T--90% of which will be taxed, gifted, and spent by the time it transfers to the third generation. I support next gen backers and the nonprofits transforming traditional philanthropy through innovative models that balance financial stewardship, co-creation, and collaborative action for shared prosperity.
I am the co-founder and COO of COVEN arts nonprofit and serve on the board of directors for The Fogarty Foundation, House of 42, and CASALMA.
