I'm the guy that early & growth-stage B2B tech startup founders and their investment teams call when they've got an extremely important senior GTM or C-Suite leadership role to fill.

We've built our reputation on being extremely thorough, delivering quality outcomes on compressed timeframes, and taking a very unorthodox approach to search.

Over the last 21 years as a 5x startup founder, angel investor, GTM advisor, direct response marketer, sales leader, management consultant, husband, and father, I've discovered that at my core, I'm a lover, activator, and connector of people.

The environment in which I'll thrive and contribute most is one that values creativity, authenticity, speed, transparency, diversity, collaboration, empathy, being laser-focused & fiercely loyal, taking a quality over quantity approach, being data-driven, continuously learning, laughter, humility, and kindness.

**Are you a startup founder or investor looking for a talent partner to help you fill a critical senior GTM or C-suite vacancy? Shoot me an email so we can explore if we’d be a good fit: [email protected]

**Are you a senior GTM leader looking for access to the best (discrete) high-growth opportunities? Fill out the confidential intake form located at BearhugRecruiting.com/job-hunting so we can get acquainted.

Outside of work, you'll find me either out in nature with my wife, our 2 kids, and our 2 dogs, pushing my physical limits at Crossfit, getting bendy on my yoga mat, cruising the streets on my electric skateboard, kiteboarding, climbing limestone cliffs above the ocean, jumping out of a perfectly good airplane, or reading/listening to a great book.

Currently reading: "21 Lessons for the 21st Century” by Yuval Noah Harari, “Principles" by Ray Dalio, and "The Future Is Faster Than You Think” by Peter Diamandis
