I have built over twenty startups and am an expert at ideation, innovation, and startup psychology. I now spend my time writing books on innovation, advising corporate executives on how to “think and act more entrepreneurial,” and pioneering the use of Corporate Entrepreneurs in Residence. I have taught over 15,000 students from 149 countries on how to build successful startups and has mentored at Techstars and Founder Institute.
I am an ex-ultrarunner, a semi-famous sports artist, and a veteran of the United States Army. Most days, I can be found listening to Jimmy Buffett, watching my beautiful wife surf from the comfort of my ocean-view home, petting my dog, and pontificating on all things innovative.
