Before founding Admiral, he served as Head of Investment Strategy at Michael Bloomberg's family office and worked as an investor-operator across multiple portfolio companies. He now leads Admiral, the operating intelligence layer for the marina industry, and works directly with independent marinas, boatyards, and marina portfolios on how operational data drives performance. He brings both an investor's view of where marina value is created and a captain's view of how a waterfront actually runs.
