How I got here.
I am a founder and operator based in Marin County. Today I lead marketing and growth at Buildable, and I am a partner at 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.

2023 – 2024
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
Partner
Agavia
A tequila and mezcal tasting room in San José del Cabo, built and run with my partners. My side of it is marketing and growth. The product was an evening, and the software had to disappear.

2025 – present
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.
