    About
    Achievements

    Over the last 3 years, I've led product and technology for a venture-backed company called Smack, Inc. We focus on consumer products for millennials and have built two separate products that have amassed over one million users. SmackHigh, our first product, was a web application that allowed high school students to share and social and sports news. At its peak, SmackHigh was being used in 1/3 of US based high schools.

    In November of 2016, I created Fam, an iMessage application that made it easy to start live group video calls right from within iMessage chats/conversations. We launched in December of 2016 and reached over 1 million users in 10 days. To date, we've had over 6 million downloads.

    I built CommunityRoot, a SaaS business providing online registration to after school programs throughout the country, currently transacting ~ $10m, annually.
