  • What inspires you about working with tech companies?

    Working with phenomenal teams at tech companies, learning about their story and then having the opportunity to be a part of that story. I especially love helping founders get their payday in a successful sale or exit.

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

    Singing and dancing pop star.

  • What technology are you most excited to see develop?

    Quantum computing. It has such immense potential to bring us into the new age of computing. But the technology also raises many fascinating questions and challenges about how it will affect our digitally reliant society, especially with respect to cybersecurity.

  • What is your ideal weekend?

    A round of golf, a nice NYC dinner with my wife, and a calm afternoon playing video games, mahjong or poker with my friends.

  • What's your mantra?

    Be kind. Be cheerful. Be positive.

      Leave things better than you found them.
