I am an executive fintech banker, spy novelist, speaker, punk rocker, podcaster, ex-bodybuilder, cigar lover, and serial entrepreneur. I founded two independent record labels—Thorp Records and Sailor’s Grave Records—and have invested in many spaces, including online lending, fitness, lead generation, and independent music.
I am also a serial failure. I have crashed and burned through bankruptcy, divorce, mortgage default, public assistance, and multiple business failures. But, like a jack-in-the-box after a punch, I pop back up every time, rebuilding my life—informed by failure—with a big smile on my face.
