Founder @PermaVentures, @Sunset Coast Capital & 20+ other ventures. Industries: tech, media, real estate, tourism/hospitality, events, weddings, etc
Jointly acquired a retirement community now worth north of $10M. Took a startup from $0-$1M in sales prior to age 38. Have grown a small holding company of wholly or majority-owned companies. Other adventures of note. Living expenses of less than the U.S. median household income the whole way.
Describe the most impressive thing you've done.Advisor roles, acquisition opportunities or majority interest in companies with $250k-$2M in owner earnings, early-stage angel opportunities where I could add value from 16 years of experience fighting it out as a founder, and joint ventures with teams needing a strong business development partner.
Describe what you're looking for in a company.There are several, but two of my favorites are Scaling Up by Verne Harnish, and Poor Charlie's Almanack about Charlie Munger.
Almost exactly the same things I do now, with the exception of even more travel.
Slow down, sit in the moment more, and stop worrying. It'll be fine. :)

I love to think & plan winning the future with my friends. Strategy, evaluating opportunities, business development, financial modeling, and long, dynamic conversations with like-minded people are my favorite things in business.
I wish I had started living more vulnerably and more "fully" years earlier. Now my mission is to live fully known, fully present and bringing the fullness of who I am to those around me.
