    About
    Achievements

    I've participated in funding and building 40+ companies, and managed three venture funds totaling over $150 million with top-decile IRR. I'm an active investor who will take executive roles where I see unusual opportunity and can add unique operations value to the team.

    For what it's worth, I've been ranked as the #4 Most Loved and #17 Most Respected VC in the US by BusinessInsider and #1 in both categories in the Southeast. More importantly, founders I've built companies with are lifelong friends.

    Describe the most impressive thing you've done.
