About

A founder who prefers to be close to the work.

I'm based in New Jersey and spend most of my working days in Manhattan's Diamond District. My approach is hands-on: I sit with teams, walk the floor, meet with customers, and stay close to the details that shape a business.

Over the years I've built companies across three related worlds — the jewelry trade, matchmaking, and consumer technology. What ties them together is simple: they are all industries where trust, judgment, and long relationships matter more than short-term wins.

I care about building well-run operations, developing technology that actually helps people, serving customers with patience, and connecting the communities I belong to. I'd rather build something that lasts a decade than something that trends for a week.

How I work

Practical, patient, and hands-on.

  • Improving operations one detail at a time, on the floor and off it.
  • Developing technology that removes friction for real users.
  • Serving customers personally and building long relationships.
  • Connecting communities that matter to the businesses I build.

Away from work

Quiet interests that keep me grounded.

When I'm not with the teams, you'll usually find me somewhere outside or somewhere still — trails, coastlines, or a good book.
