I am a serial entrepreneur and technologist who started coding at 14, launched my first business at 19, and made by first angel investment before age 30. Including my companies, my portfolio, and my clients I have been involved in multiple exits as a founder, investor, advisor and team member. In this broad-ranging experience as an entrepreneur, investor, and consultant, I have worked in Group Travel, Telemarketing, Digital Out of Home Advertising, Light Manufacturing, Digital Marketing, Occupational Therapy, e-Commerce, Retail, Non-Profit, Ticketing, Sports & Entertainment, Public Agencies, Alternative Asset Management, Consumer Services, and Professional Services and bring domain-specific knowledge to these industries. I am looking to engage with people that want to leverage technology to make money, save money, or improve customer experiences. As a consultant, this means middle market companies looking to add strategic value to their technology investments. As an investor and advisor, it’s usually early stage, AI-enabled SaaS companies. Additionally, I have a passion for helping build sustainable social impact businesses that serve our communities with less reliance on philanthropic funding.

I am a Social Venturist, Entrepreneur, Angel Investor and a licensed Professional Engineer. I am the Co-Founder and the Managing Partner at BlackTech Capital (BTC) and the Founder & CEO of Enliten. I have experience in developing companies in the Energy, CleanTech and Sustainability Sectors where I see a New Emerging Energy Future. For me, energy is something greater than simply the power for heating, cooling and transportation, it is the force that propels people and organizations. The key to sustainability is not if we can overcome the technological challenges, it is all about finding and nurturing the great people and companies that are already creating the technology solutions. I have always had a passion for creating and building, along with a reputation for creating and leading strong teams. I have demonstrated these abilities in the corporate world as well as in the companies I have developed and nurtured throughout the years. Now my focus with BTC is to find, fund and help black and other underrepresented entrepreneurs grow great CleanTech companies. By focusing on Black and other Underrepresented Entrepreneurs in CleanTech, our impact is at the intersection of social responsibility and environmental initiatives.
