‘Punch a Banker, Hug a Developer’

Born in Toronto, lived in Phoenix for 20 years and now in Coronado, CA with a loyal wife (15 years, 14.2 Canadian years), two awesome kids and a dachshund. Schools – University of Western Ontario, Arizona State University, American Graduate School of International Management (Thunderbird). My current start-up is called Stocktwits and I am a co-founder and CEO. I also manage a hedge fund and have done so since June of 1998. I make early stage investments though Social Leverage. In the Summer of 2006, I created Wallstrip and with the help of Adam Elend, Jeff Marks, Lindsay Campbell and a hard working crew we created over 300 shows. In May 2007, Wallstrip was purchased by CBS. I am a partner in two other funds called Knight’s Bridge Capital Partners . I moved out west to play golf, but now rarely do. My hobbies include driving my kid’s to activities and staying awake. I am in pursuit of the perfect sleep solution. Endless bad ideas – trust me!
