I'm a hands-on operator who's partnered with visionary product founders to build and scale their companies. I get into the details — running systems, closing deals, building processes — then step back to help each team see how they fit into the whole.
I'm currently CEO at Stacks Labs. I got into crypto because I believe in free markets and global economic access, and joined Stacks because they took the principled route — the only SEC-qualified token offering.
Through chaotic.capital, I invest in and advise early-stage founders building for complexity — helping them see around corners by navigating the operational challenges that aren't obvious until you've seen them before.
I've spent most of my career on enabling technologies, including 8 years at Stack Overflow — where I partnered with Joel Spolsky to run operations and launch the enterprise business from $0 to $10M+, teach companies how to build developer communities of their own.
Before tech, I produced concerts, where execution was everything. That's where I learned that getting my hands dirty is what lets me understand each function well enough to get the best out of a team.
