I breathe startups. Most of my closest friends are my business partners and a day painting a whiteboard is only second to a day with my family.

I'm addicted. I'm a serial founder & investor. I'm the Founder of Interplay Ventures, a co-founder of DevSpark, Founder Shield, Nomad Financial, TwentyPine, Venwise and a Venture Partner at High Peaks Venture Partners.

If you're interested in using the same startup service providers that we use, we setup a site that will introduce you to them - check it out: Venture Juice.

Here are some mottos I live by:

I think I'm having an impact. My blog has reached enough folks to garner the attention and Business Insider who listed me as one of the 100 Most Influential Digital NYers. I've also been included in the CVC30 - a list of the 30 most interesting members of the Columbia University startup community. This blog has been syndicated or cited on Inc.com, Mashable, Business Insider, OPENForum, AlwaysOn, PEHub, ReadWriteWeb, The Wall Street Journal and others.

As for interests, I really enjoy brainstorming new ideas, tinkering with new technology, listening to pandora, boxing, documentaries and an occasional game of rock band.

I am married to my college sweetheart Laurie and have a daughter named Avery.
