I signed a love of the game contract with myself. That clause still runs my life. I’m an operator led family office investor. I do situation room deals when the stakes are real. I also host Graveyard of Startups ⇢ where ego dies and lessons live. New Year focus. Build in public. Sharpen the funnel. Take fewer meetings. Make better decisions faster. My background is reps, not theory. Active war zones with Blackhawks and Ospreys. Boardrooms where the wire lands before wheels up. Two decades inside the friction where capital, policy, and people collide. I built 10X startups from zero and earned 3X exits. I partnered with Fortune 100s, helped oversee four billion dollars in CIVMIL aid delivery, and backed companies from early sketches to multibillion dollar outcomes across the Americas, EMEA, and Asia. Today I serve as Executive Chairman of the U.S. Economic Bridge Initiative. We build and back mission aligned ventures across three pillars: 🧳AI infrastructure and tools 🧳 Sports, media, lifestyle 🧳 Strategic industries and supply chains that can move sectors, cities, or countries Graveyard of Startups is the arena for people with scar tissue. Founders. Investors. Athletes. Policymakers. Creators. Operators. If you got a TKO and came back anyway, you belong in the conversation.
