About me

Most expertise stays trapped in one person's head, a spreadsheet, or an operating routine. I turn it into practical systems through capital, software, and process without losing the judgment that made it valuable.

Grew up in Washington, DC. TJHSST shaped how I think about peer ambition and systems. EduAvenues® grew from TJ admissions into selective high schools, college admissions, student research, AI, and career pathways.

I studied finance and applied statistics at UVA, then worked at GreenSky® (acquired by Goldman Sachs) and Goldman Sachs, and did private equity at Evergreen by Alpine Investors. I now apply that experience through SigmaSolo.

Anchored outside work by Kate and Newton, our Aussiedoodle.
