  • eFellow at Plymouth Ventures

    To complete my Master in Entrepreneurship program, I joined forces with Plymouth Ventures a Venture Capital firm in Ann Arbor, Michigan for the 2013 Summer Practicum eFellowship. Plymouth Ventures does not typically take on summer assignments, but I was well poised to add value to their firm over the summer without being looked after or micromanaged.

    I focused my efforts in two parts over the summer. The first was to dive into the day-to-day of a venture capitalist. I did this by attending board meetings, new investment opportunity pitches, doing research and one-on-one meetings with the partners. The second half was a branding overhaul. I was able to create a unified branding and marketing approach along with a customized website that is expandable for years to come. It was a productive summer for both myself and the firm. Below are some of the graphical work created for the firm.

  • Sterling State Park Kiteboarding

    I met up with some of the guys at Sterling State Park on Lake Erie for a kite session. The 14m Liquid Force NRG came in handy after I missed the really windy part of the day. There were some really fun kickers to hit, and we wound up riding for a few hours and called it quits. Thomas Nocella grabbed a few photos from the session. Thanks!

  • Tom and Abbey’s Wedding

    We had a terrific time at Tom and Abbey’s Wedding! It was a blast meeting everyone and hearing great stories about the both of them. A big thanks to the Parks and Pabst family for a great party. Here are a couple iPhone shots from the event.

  • SBC Kiteboard Issue #42

    The 42nd issue of SBC Kiteboard Magazine came out recently. Brandon Scheid wrote an article on kiteboarding features (sliders, kickers, jibs), which had images of mine accompany it.

  • Patagonia Summer Catalog Cover

    It is a huge honor to announce that Jason Slezak and I ran on the cover of the 2012 Summer Patagonia Catalog. You can pick up your copy here. It’s sooo amazing to see all of Jason’s hard work in promoting the sport of kiteboarding starting to payoff. Patagonia has been absolutely insane to work with and looking forward for more to come.

  • Wedding in Gloucester, VA

    Gloucester VA held a very special wedding this weekend. Our friends Ashley and Johnny held a beautiful event held at Warner Hall. We started the weekend off with a round of golf at Golden Horseshoe on a perfect spring day with blue skies and a light breeze. The rest of the weekend was spectacular hanging with old friends and making new ones and celebrating the marriage of 2 very amazing people!
