    Advisor 2022 - Present (over 4 years)
    Throughout my career, I have been very fortunate to have amazing mentors showing me the ropes. Since exiting my last company, I've been paying this debt of gratitude forward... more by advising approx. 20 startup founders pro bono. Most of this mentoring focuses on growth, product, ops, and leadership.

    Co-founded Simply Eloped and was recently bought out of the company. At the time of my exit, Simply Eloped was the highest volume wedding planning marketplace in the world,... more had an NPS of 88, and was covered in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Wired, The Guardian, and many other large outlets. I directly led product, marketing, and ops for the first 3 years and then managed the leaders who ran those departments ongoing.

    Artist Manager 2014 - 2019 (almost 5 years)
    With my partners, I grew the fanbase of popular electronic music artist Magic Sword starting from before their first out-of-town performance until they surpassed 2 million... more Spotify listeners and hit the iTunes + Billboard charts. I directed the artist’s licensing efforts, which resulted in partnerships with Disney (in particular, we did the music for the Thor: Ragnarok trailer!), Netflix, BBC, GoPro, NBC, Skullcandy, and Cartoon Network, which resulted in over 100 million audio impressions.
    Treefort Music Fest
    Treefort Music Fest
    A bunch of different things! 2011 - 2015 (about 4 years)
    I was on the festival's founding team and focused on selecting artists, building the festival's music industry panel series, and PR, among many other things.
