  • What inspires you about working with tech companies?

    I admire the dedication and sacrifice of tech company founders. I have firsthand experience with helping grow a company from zero employees and no products to an international team with a full product portfolio and ultimately a fruitful exit.

  • If you weren't a tech lawyer, what would you do?

    Start a vegan, organic, gluten free, non-GMO, non-plant-based ice cream business.

  • What is your ideal weekend?

    Spending weekends hiking with my wife, toddler, puppy and elder pup.

  • If you could choose one superpower, what would it be?

    The ability to sleep for one hour and gain the physical and mental recovery of 8 hours' worth of sleep.
