About Me

Hey there! I'm an entrepreneur and investor, focused on the sports industry. I'm currently Managing Director of the Techstars Sports Accelerator, the former co-CEO of Draft.com (sold for $48M), the Founder of CoachUp.com (backed by $15M), an angel investor or advisor in 50+ startups, and a co-owner of the 4X Australian NBL New Zealand Breakers, among several other fun ventures. Im addicted to building and investing in businesses, and have a lot of fun doing it!

I spend my free time supporting other founders through my accelerator and my investing, but also by speaking on topics related to entrepreneurship, investing, coaching, and leadership, and by writing thoughts down from time to time, including 2 books and the occasional tweet or blog post here.

I've grown more than anything from several great mentors in my life, and so I want to pay it forward as best I can by sharing what I'm learning along the way. Please send me your thoughts and questions! Also, if you get a chance, please check out my book, below.
