I’m an entrepreneur, writer, skier, and marathoner living in San Francisco, California. I love getting involved with early-stage companies and projects.
I’m currently working on new media projects and volunteering at the San Francisco SPCA.
Previously, I:
- Started the Benja Commerce Network, a collection of traditional e-commerce stores and shoppable media experiences which delivered a premium outlet experience where people live online.
- Was #49 on the 2017 100 People to Watch in Blockchain.
- Built the sales plan and revenue model at Feathr, an event and conference technology company. I was the first business hire.
- Coordinated, managed, and executed a guerrilla marketing campaign for Color Labs on college campuses and tourism locations in New England around the launch of their live video-streaming service in 2012.
- Served as a liaison between educational institutions, SMBs, and Microsoft around the launch of Windows 7 and Office 2010. This included the coordination and execution of marketing events on college campuses, encouraging bulk license holders to consider upgrading, and generating awareness around new features. I also worked on the Windows Mobile team in a research role as we worked toward a major release.
- Sold for Vermont Spirits Distilling Co., an award-winning distillery in Quechee, Vermont. This included on and off-premise sales, event marketing, social media management, and the development of new product brands. Under my management, VTSD became the official spirit of the Vermont Ski Association.
- Sold radio advertising for WGMT in Lyndonville, Vermont.
I hold a B.A. in Business Administration from Northern Vermont University where I was president of the student body from 2008-2010, and was a founding executive member of the Lyndon Student Investment Group. I also earned the rank of Eagle Scout with Troop 162 in Southbury, Connecticut in 2006.
