Entrepreneur, investor, and local leader. I split my time between building companies, serving as a Selectman for Easton, New Hampshire, and hiking, skiing, and travel.
I love building new projects and companies, and helping others do the same. I'm now helping small businesses manage customer credit risk. I also invest in and advise founders, and mentor through Venture Lane Studio and Northeastern University's McCarthy(s) Venture Mentoring Network. Please reach out if you're building a tech company, or if you're a business or town government putting more technology to work.
In 2025 I was elected to the Select Board in Easton, New Hampshire, a town of 292 people at the western edge of the White Mountains. Easton's residents give generously of their time and energy to keep this rural community special and well run. My focus has been on modernizing the town's information technology, moving to electronic records, and putting AI to work in small-town government.
Technology change has been a constant throughout my career, and now is more exciting than ever. I run practical experiments with AI and IoT automation: in small-town government, in managing our own finances, and in the home. What works, and what turns out not to be worth it, gets written up in the Notebook.
