Working at MassChallenge--The Worlds's Largest Startup Accelerator--and loving it. I enjoy spending my days with talented, passionate entrepreneurs and facilitating their growth in whatever way I can. I supplement this fantastic opportunity to help startups succeed by spending a good portion of my day as an independent investor. I manage a number of public equity portfolios and am also building out my private investment exposure within the Angel/VC ecosystem via a few Angel groups I'm a member of and/or do deal sourcing and due diligence for. I'm always looking to expand my network for the purpose of investment and relationship building. My question is--what are you doing to disrupt your industry? I am a 2012 Trinity College graduate with a passion for writing and research, journalism, capital markets, trading and investments, traveling the world, and entrepreneurial ventures; most importantly, I have a burning desire to do something great while giving back in as many ways as possible. I studied American popular culture with a focus on music in college and am an avid reader, guitar player and collector of music. When it comes to investing I am obsessed with Warren Buffet and primarily take a "value-style"​ approach. I am FINRA Series 7 & Series 66 certified and am a CFA level II candidate.
