About Me

I build things—businesses, teams, and connective infrastructure—and help others do the same. As a Partner at Horizon Two Labs, I work alongside founders, executives, and institutions to launch and grow new ventures, often serving as the operational and strategic bridge between big ideas and durable execution.

My background spans startups, media, the arts, and civic work, which has shaped how I think about coordination, storytelling, and momentum in complex environments. I’ve produced podcasts, organized large-scale events, led innovation programs, and built platforms that bring together people with different incentives and perspectives. Early work in theater, film, and live events taught me how much successful outcomes depend on preparation, sequencing, and trust behind the scenes—lessons that still inform how I support teams and leaders today.

Columbus has been a constant throughline in my work. I’ve spent years contributing to the city’s startup and civic ecosystem—chairing commissions, supporting founders, organizing festivals, and working with public and private partners—to help translate local ambition into sustained progress. I care deeply about collaboration, equity, and long-term impact, and I’m motivated by work that strengthens the connective tissue between people, capital, and institutions.

I studied Economics at The Ohio State University and later earned a Master in the Study of Law with a focus on the legal environment of business. That training sharpened my understanding of governance, risk, and organizational structure—an important lens when building and scaling ventures across multiple stakeholders. I believe understanding the rules doesn’t limit creativity; it creates the conditions for building things that last.
