It’s me, the startup joe.
Founder. Investor. Connector of humans. Based in📍Austin, TX.
I have always been under the impression that being a jack-of-all-trades is an admirable trait in life, and being good at a variety of things came naturally to me, so why aim to be great at just one thing?
As a youth and into college I was baseball player joe, in university I was architecture student joe, then I became finance joe, airline joe, photographer joe, traveler joe, advertising joe, and business joe.
While I’m immensely proud of my path as a generalist and the strong foundation it gave me, the time came to build upon that knowledge and go deep & narrow into a specialty. Finding my place as the startup joe, I have been building, advising, and investing in startups since 2014.
“Don’t ask yourself what the world needs, ask yourself what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs, is people who have come alive.”
— Howard Thurman
I’m a super-connector!
My M.O. has always been to bring people together in an effort to create the best possible outcome for all those involved. From linking together groups of friends, to creating powerful business partnerships - it is my true belief that a rising tide lifts all ships, and that for one to win in business it does not require the other to lose.
