hello

Barley & Bean: Backyard Beer Garden Schedule. 4-7pm most every Sunday

30-June: Will be around. Let me know if you can stop by.

Currently I’m focused on:

  • Researching food systems, please take a look
  • Building a best in class supply chain for Banza
  • AI supply chain solutions

The commercial food system often operates against to the interest of both consumers and farmers. The continued industrialization of food is not inevitable. We can provide nutrition for everyone and reduce environmental impact. This is what I’m thinking so far:

  • Helena Farm Stop: Is it possible to build profitable, scalable retail stores that offer only local and seasonal food?
  • The Soil Accord: How can investors provide capital and land to farmers with regenerative growing practices directly?
  • University of Michigan – BSE – Mechanical Engineering
  • University of Cambridge – MBA – Entrepreneurship

Banza – Food startup & makers of chickpea pasta, pizza, rice

  • Joined in 2015, manage the ops team & lead sourcing
  • I was on this podcast a while ago talking about it

Pre-Banza Startup involvement:

  • Service.com – now defunct software startup focused on home services.
  • Strive – Approachable group fitness startup in public spaces, pay as you go
  • Raspberry Pi – Global sourcing and manufacturing support, microcomputer

I spent almost five years working for Navistar and Navistar Defense, a truck and engine manufacturer. I supported the launch of the MRAP program in 2007 and led the program management of Foreign Military Sales.

Here is an old travel blog when I had a lot to say about not much. I used to travel a lot. I like to go trail running and do yoga stuff.
