He is Co-Founder of General Assembly, where he supports GA's global efforts around social impact, alumni community engagement, and partnership development.

In college he founded two startups, one building team-based games powered by rivalries (PickTeams), and another curating and selling antique furniture (Aloysius Properties), both of which proved to be more educational than profitable.
