Principal

Why Fulcrum? 

I love working with high-growth businesses and talented, creative, and ambitious entrepreneurs that are passionate about building companies.  The firm’s focus on healthcare and technology represent two of the largest and fastest growing sectors of the economy where innovation and disruption is occurring at a rapid pace was also very attractive.  Importantly, I’m excited about the incredible team and track record at Fulcrum.  Being able to marry my corporate finance skill set and operating background to help our companies grow felt like the perfect place for me to be. 

Outside Fulcrum

I grew up in the Nashville area and now live with my wife and daughters in Roswell, GA.  Outside of Fulcrum, I mentor through Big Brothers Big Sisters of Metro Atlanta.  Though spare time is limited with two young kids, I enjoy doing anything active or outdoors, looking for my ball on the golf course, peloton/biking, traveling, and trying new restaurants.
