I focus my efforts in digital media, advertising, consumer Internet, and other relevant sectors. I also work closely with Genacast Ventures, a seed stage venture fund affiliated with Comcast Interactive Capital. My responsibilities at CIC include sourcing new investment opportunities and advising and sitting on the board of CIC portfolio companies.
Prior to joining CIC in 2000, I worked in the investment banking department at Bear Stearns, advising clients in the Media & Entertainment sector that included cable, broadcasting, publishing, education, advertising/marketing and Internet/new media, among others.
I hold a Bachelor of Business Administration with highest honors from the University of Michigan with a concentration in Accounting and Finance. I serve on the Board of Directors of BlackArrow, JiWire, Perfect Market, SnagFilms, TidalTV, and Visible World and am involved as an advisor or board observer to a number of other CIC portfolio companies. I was previously involved in CIC's investments in Demdex (acquired by Adobe), Entropic Communications (NASDAQ: ENTR), Giant Realm (acquired by Burst Media), Invite Media (acquired by Google), Intellon Corporation (NASDAQ: ITLN, acquired by Atheros Communications), Linkshare (acquired by Rakuten), Nuera Communications (acquired by AudioCodes), RF Magic (acquired by Entropic Communications), and XOS Technologies (acquired by JumpTV).
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family (wife and 2 young boys). I am an early adopter of all the latest gadgets, and I am a lifelong fan of Michigan Football.
