About

Prior to discussing myself, I must relay how fortunate and honored I am to have worked alongside some of the most ethical, intelligent, reputable, and successful professionals. Without them, it wouldn't be possible to be where I am today. 10+ years of experience in the financial markets - The earlier half with a bulge-bracket trading high-yield debt and REITs, sourcing IB and other deals for fun, and assessing opportunities for the broader portfolio. The latter half of my career was as an Analyst to Sr. Associate with a $1 billion healthcare-focused PE fund. Concurrently, I had the opportunity to work in the VC space through various operating/advisory roles and Chair/Director roles with companies across a multitude of industries ultimately raising an aggregate of roughly $145 million. I recently decided to focus my efforts as an investment banker with Avondale Partners.
