I am a startup coach and data monkey who lives in Austin, TX.

I‘ve started three successful companies — Infochimps, which built a platform for big data processing on the cloud (sold to CSC), and Vigilante, a restaurant for board games in Austin, TX. I’m currently working on Tookstock — friendly lean supply chain management for small businesses. Other past adventures include writing the book Big Data for Chimps (O’Reilly), being an Entreprenuer in Residence at Capital Factory and serving on the board of ATX Hackerspace (now ASMBLY) in its transition to cultural health and sustainability.
