How I got here.
I am a founder and operator based in Marin County. Today I lead marketing and growth at Buildable, and I started Agavia, a tequila and mezcal tasting room in San José del Cabo. Before that I relaunched my family’s company around the copper mug the Moscow Mule is named after.

2000s
Founder
Early ventures
Golf first — mini tours, and a knee injury that ended that plan.
The first company came after: gear for service dogs, and the habit of building the thing rather than waiting for it.

From 2014; relaunched 2016
President & CEO
Moscow Copper Co.
I relaunched my family’s company around the original Moscow Mule mug, with production, packaging, retail partnerships and the Muleseum.

Founder
Nixxit
A consumer product taken from formulation to carton to a direct-to-consumer storefront, built to test whether a small brand could buy attention profitably.

From 2024
Founder
Agavia
A tequila and mezcal tasting room in San José del Cabo, and the booking and menu systems behind it. The product was an evening, and the software had to disappear.

Marketing & growth
Buildable
Marketing and growth inside an operating software engineering firm: positioning, the service pages that carry it, and reporting on what those pages do.

Built it myself
Software I built myself
Nine, a golf game for a shuffleboard table, built end to end and shipped to TestFlight.
Most of what I build for myself is a tool for a job I was doing by hand — research systems, reporting, small pieces of software that take the tedious part out of a decision without taking the decision.

Off the clock
Marin County, golf, time outdoors, and making things by hand. Golf came first and was going to be the whole plan; it is better as the thing I do on a Saturday.
