Experience
“Sabbatical”
January 2022 - Present
After exiting my last business, I attempted a sabbatical. But I quickly remembered that I love building things and helping people, so it didn’t last very long. Much of my time has been absorbed by:
- Feed Tulum: I founded a decentralized NGO that in under two months has recruited 150 volunteers, given away 6k+ free meals, countless clothing items, and medical support to needy families in Mexico. As of writing this, we’re have funding secured to sustain our operations through the end of the year.
- Pro Bono Advising: Throughout my career, I have been very fortunate to have amazing mentors showing me the ropes. I've been paying this debt of gratitude forward by advising approx. 30 startup founders pro bono. Most of this mentoring focuses on growth, customer experience, product, ops, and leadership.
June 2016 - December 2021
- Co-founded Simply Eloped. At the time of my exit, it was the highest volume wedding planning marketplace in the world, had an NPS of 88, and was covered in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Wired, The Guardian and many other large outlets.
- Bootstrapped until $1M in annual sales and raised VC from there.
- Directly led product, growth/marketing, and ops for the first 3 years and then managed the leaders who ran those departments ongoing.
September 2016 - August 2018
- Co-founded TightShip, a marketing consulting agency that ran growth campaigns for Grubhub, Audible, and other enterprise brands.
- Exited in 2018.
