Currently, I work as a GP at USVP, where my focus is on SaaS, vertical SaaS, data, and AI-focused companies. This newsletter serves as a platform for me to delve into my interests in investing, adventure technology, and its impact on society.

Adventure and curiosity have always been driving forces in my life. I have led white-water rafting tours in Colorado, spent a summer in Tanzania where I went on safaris with the Maasai, and even had the opportunity to sleep in Jane Goodall's cabin on Lake Tanganyika while trekking for chimps.

In my free time, I enjoy skiing, mountain biking, and golfing. This desire for exploration also extends to my career. Over the course of my diverse two-decade career, I have been involved in designing innovative concepts for commercial aircraft, promoting renewable energy, and supporting clean energy initiatives in Africa.

I was the first employee at Salesforce Ventures, where I built a global team and made investments in notable companies such as Anaplan, Gainsight, MuleSoft, Snowflake, Twilio, and Zoom. As a General Partner at CRV, I provided support to companies like Power Finance (acq. MQ), Rundoo, and Instil.

With a BS in Materials Science from Purdue and an MBA/MS from the University of Michigan, I combine my education with practical experience. This newsletter embodies my passion for investing, technology, and travel.
