I’ve spent more than 30 years building companies, brands and audiences—starting with the early days of the commercial internet and continuing through consumer products, media and now health and wellness.

I founded Cnation at 19 and grew it to nearly 100 employees, working with brands including Oakley, Nissan, Toyota, Honda and The Simpsons. Our work included building some of the earliest major consumer websites, including the first Oakley.com and TheSimpsons.com, and our work for Honda earned a Clio Award.

I later moved into consumer products, co-founding two beverage companies and taking products from concept through fundraising, development, manufacturing, e-commerce, marketing and distribution. Today, I’m Founder & CEO of Bravago Nutrition, a science-backed ready-to-drink nutrition company focused on strength, recovery and healthy aging for active-aging adults and the growing GLP-1 market.

Media has also been a major part of my career. For more than 17 years, I’ve hosted CarCast with Adam Carolla and WWE superstar Bill Goldberg, interviewing leaders and innovators throughout the automotive industry. My longtime role as an operating partner with Adam has also given me extensive experience across business development, partnerships, sponsorships, production, live events and brand building.

Across all of those businesses, I’ve been a hands-on founder and operator—raising capital, building teams, developing products, creating partnerships and figuring out how to turn an idea into a real business.
