I invest in early-stage high‑technology companies in the Boston area and have a passion for equities and options trading. My software career spanned roles in database management and business intelligence—as a techie, sales guy, and executive—and I’ve always thrived on the energy of the start‑up world. Today, I serve as Past President of the Porsche Club of America’s Northeast Region and am honored to be Director Emeritus of both Launchpad Venture Group and Lucy’s Love Bus.

For seven years, I had the privilege of entertaining and comforting children at Boston Children’s Hospital as they faced various cancers. I told countless stories and played what must have been a thousand video and board games—losing cheerfully every time.

At home, Betty and I share life with our cat, Jabba the Hutt. Unlike us, he cannot drive a Porsche 911, ski the slopes of Vermont, savor fine food, or enjoy a great Burgundy.
