About

Ideas need architects to translate them into the real world. I know about spaces, people, pixels, and building codes.

I am an entrepreneur, designer, husband and father who has built a career creating companies that provide a compelling user experience.

Currently, I am the CEO and Cofounder of Commons Company, a family of food, beverage, and hospitality ventures including Passenger, Necessary Coffee, Prince Street Cafe, Blue Line, Merrymaker Catering, and Commissary Lancaster. It is the mission of Commons to belong to and nourish our communities through inspiring concepts, thoughtful hospitality, and meaningful employment.

Prior to Commons, I served as an EIR at the Samsung Accelerator (2014),  cofounded the mobile apps Seesaw and Everlapse (acquired by Byliner in 2013), and founded & led design at CoTweet, a social media management system for large corporations (acquired by ExactTarget in 2010).
