Building better financial, loyalty, and beverage infrastructure from Austin, TX.
I’ve spent the majority of my career building financial products around credit, loyalty, and engagement, focused on making complex financial systems actually work better for the people who use them. Most recently I built Mesa, which was focused on making homeownership more affordable and accessible. When I’m not working you’ll probably find me out on a run, tossing a frisbee with Layla, or grabbing a pint at your local brewery.
