About my journey

I took my first steps as a founder in 2006. I’ve had my share of setbacks, but my biggest success was Mailshake, which was bootstrapped and generated ~$20M in revenue during my tenure.

I’m going solo this time and trying to build a $1M business in public. I want to shine a light on what it’s like to be a founder, and I want you with me as I build, sell, validate, suffer, and (hopefully) succeed!

What problem can I help you solve?

Are you a founder (or an aspiring one)? Do you need to talk through something? I may not have the answer but I’m a good listener and might be able to help.

Are you facing a technical challenge? Do you need a simpler, less costly version of a product that’s out there? I build products based on tangible problems I come across. Maybe we can work together!
