Managing Director at US Innovative Technology Fund

Current Job Duration: 3 yrs 5 mos (until March 2026)

HEADLINE:
Deep Tech Investor | Engineer | Optimist

PERSONAL SUMMARY:
I have one of the greatest jobs in the world - I get to meet brilliant people working on incredible technologies and invest in them. I started my investing career in early stage deep tech, and am now focused on growth-stage dual-use tech. I look at startups working on AI/ML, future of compute, space, defense tech, logistics, and techbio.

My engineering experience runs the spectrum of extreme environments from near absolute zero cold (liquid hydrogen turbopumps) to blazing hot (hypersonics). I have worked at companies from small size to large government research lab. The common thread was that I enjoyed working on challenging problems in places that encouraged innovative thinking.

I have a DOE Q security clearance.
