About Me

My experience as a wildland firefighter taught me about resilience and decision-making under pressure. Those lessons became instrumental in shaping my approach to investing. I found a compelling parallel between fighting fires and navigating the financial markets – both require a deep understanding of the landscape, a well-prepared team, and an indomitable spirit. This insight and my passion for financial markets solidified my interest in investment management. 

I focus on sourcing, evaluating, and managing private investment opportunities for Caprock clients. With a background in the fundamental valuation of infrastructure and venture-backed companies, I bring a perspective that balances the lofty visions of the startup world with the realities of a well-structured portfolio. 

I was initially drawn to Caprock because of its reputation in the impact and private investment space. Our firm has built a world-class team of investment professionals focused on providing clients with the best possible private investment options.
