About

I run Inflection Group, an operator-led managed services and advisory firm. We embed with PE-backed portfolio companies, searcher acquisitions, and founder-led businesses to run their IT, consolidate their systems, and execute post-acquisition playbooks.

Through Topmost Ventures, I hold positions across real estate, an acquired operating business, and advisory equity in 15+ early-stage companies. Every position is earned through execution, not check-writing.

I also build products and media properties: an AI answering service for vets, a LinkedIn growth platform, a practice management tool for psychedelic facilitators, a daily newsletter for founders, and a peer advisory group here in Austin.

Before building my own ventures, I worked with teams at Google, Facebook, Apple, BAE Systems, and Austin Energy. I directed the Founder Institute Austin chapter, where I helped early-stage founders build and launch companies. I judge startup competitions regularly and stay embedded in the Austin founder ecosystem.
