A proven marketing leader with infectious energy who galvanizes teams and builds brands from early stage to market leader. My multi-industry experience along with my "marketing playbook" enables me to find stratospheric growth in any industry and company I'm passionate about.
I started my career as a professional soccer player for the New England Revolution. Six knee surgeries later, I hung up the boots and joined PUMA where I launched PUMA Golf in North America as the founding marketing lead, signing Rickie Fowler and growing the business from zero to $50MM in annual revenue. From there I joined a social media startup, launching industry-first programs for clients like Macy’s, JetBlue, and Starbucks. Becoming a father and navigating the broken childcare industry pulled me towards leading the marketing team of “the Airbnb for daycares,” resulting in doubling revenue within 12 months leading to an acquisition. I most recently led the marketing team at LightForce, a Kleiner Perkins-backed, 3D printing technology company revolutionizing the braces industry.
In my spare time, I'm a cold-water surfer, wannabe Iron Chef, and a pretty mean “Daddy Monster” to my little girls, Jo, Vida, and Hazel. I donate my time mentoring other startups and nonprofits.
