About
I am a technology entrepreneur and investor based in Los Angeles.
In 2005 I cofounded Deco Enterprises, an LED lighting company, straight out of college with a degree in Electrical Engineering. I ran the company for 14 years and led it through a successful exit in 2019.
After that I transitioned into investing and tech advisory through BEP Holdings. I focus on seed-stage companies at the intersection of AI, infrastructure, and scalable business models. I write about semiconductors, AI infrastructure, and public markets on my Substack newsletter.
I am a member of YPO (Young Presidents’ Organization) and serve on the leadership board of the Terasaki Institute for Biomedical Innovation.
