I began my career in Long Beach working in the Commercial Contracts division for Boeing in Long Beach. I left the aviation business and spent 15+ years in the technology space in search of the faster pace of startup life.

I successfully started 3 companies before co-founding the Rubicon Project in 2007 where I served as COO and sat on the Board of Directors. I oversaw the growth of the company from zero to over 300 plus employees in 6 countries. The company went public on the NYSE in 2014 (RUBI) at which time I left the company and board full time.

For the next several years I spread my time across multiple opportunities. I formed a company that is involved in several real estate and retail projects. I served as a Principal at The Hive Data, a technology venture firm, and served as a director and advisor for several ad-tech startups.

I’ve been a pilot since 1995, in 2016 I decided that it was time to return to aviation to allow me to combine my passion for aviation with my entrepreneurial spirit. Today, I’m a Multi-Engine Commercial pilot with 2000+ flight hours. My three great passions are aviation, sports, and my family of five.

I received a B.A. in Business Economics from the University of California, Los Angeles and an M.B.A. from some other LA school across town.
