Our Team

For over 25 years, I’ve been coaching founders and investors in reaching their potential, from formation through a wide array of complicated partnerships, financings (equity and debt) and M&A transactions. As I’ve coached inner-city wrestlers up to the top of Half-Dome many times and other youth sports for over 25 years, I’ve also counseled many clients through complicated cross-border transactions involving transactions with investors or businesses in Asia, Europe, Africa and the Unites States. While I love working with entrepreneurs focused on education services and technology, my clients span industries from AI, semiconductors, robotics, (SAAS) software, ecommerce, life science (biotech), media, food, retail and even government. I have also been active in the Bay Area community - from starting a nonprofit focused on youth development, Beat the Streets Bay Area, to serving on a number of educational nonprofits boards of directors.

I help tech companies thrive in all stages of their life cycle, from pre-formation to exit, and I work in the trenches with founders to help wrestle with diverse problems and devise practical, business-oriented solutions.

I am a strategic advisor and legal counsel to emerging technology companies as well as venture capital and strategic investors. I combine my engineering background and years of legal experience to provide practical, business-focused advice to my clients as they continue to grow their business.

Clients I've worked with: Aether Biomachines | Beacon Platforms | Mitra Chem | Nexa3D | Transcend

I advise disruptive technology companies at all stages of their life cycles as well as the investors and acquirers who invest in and acquire these companies. I do whatever it takes (within the law of course!) to help my clients achieve their objectives and I view myself as successful when my clients are successful. I counsel my clients on venture capital financings, mergers and acquisitions, formations, public offerings, corporate governance, SEC reporting and compliance and other strategic matters. I represent both public and private companies in a wide range of industries, including autonomous vehicles, artificial intelligence, software, consumer products, fintech, cryptocurrency, space, cleantech, life sciences, and digital media. I began my legal career in the high growth tech ecosystem almost 20 years ago in Silicon Valley and I'm fortunate enough to work with innovative clients in SoCal, Silicon Valley and all around the world.
