About
Upon graduation from the University of Wisconsin, I began my career on the CBOT floor as a local in wheats and bonds. Here, in the fast-paced world of the open outcry pits, I learned the business from the bottom up and developed a passion for the markets. What I gained from the CBOT floor was instrumental to my career path. I worked my way through the financial industry, covering options trading, capital raising, founding companies and merging platforms, each time accumulating more information, ranging from sales to business development. Which brings me to where I am today: the Managing Director of Regiment Alpha, a venture capital fund that invests in Seed and Series A FinTech startups, Chairman of Regiment LLC, and Co-Founder of the Small Business Advocacy Council and a member of advisory boards of several companies: • Advisory Board- GrainApp.IO • Advisory Board- PeopleHedge • Advisor Leadership Council of the OIC -2015-2016 A great balance to my work life is spending time with my wife and three awesome kids, and I am an avid fan of any Sports team that resides in the Cheddar Curtain. In fact, I still play in pick up games whenever the opportunity presents itself.
