About

About me.

Operator and founder. I run BuyIt Ventures, an equity development firm — and I'm most interested in the people a business is built around.

I'm an entrepreneur. I founded and run BuyIt Ventures, an equity development firm that builds and backs new companies alongside the experts who run them — aligned by shared values and resources, so each venture can strengthen the next.

My approach is systems-first: understand the foundation, own it, then build the product on top. I care that the work is genuinely good and that the economics make sense — to me those aren't in tension. A venture has to be worth building and worth the return it aims for.

What ties it together is a belief about people. Individuals, and the different ways our minds work, are what matter most. The rest — good food, affordable places to live and work, platforms to build on — exists to give people the room to think big and actually get there.

Real Estate

Representing, case by case.

I'm a licensed real estate agent in Virginia, with my license held at REAL Brokerage.

I represent buyers and sellers the way each situation calls for — starting from what the client actually needs and building the approach around it. The goal is simple: represent people well, and help them make a decision that makes sense for them.

Core Values · Shared Operating Principles

People — individuals, and the different ways our minds work — are what matter most. Everything else exists to serve them: the right food, affordable places to live and work, and platforms to build on.

People

Individuals come first. My job is to build the ecosystem that lets people think big and actually achieve it — so new thinkers have the opportunity to emerge.

Creativity

Creativity has to be allowed to reign. The best work comes from people given the room to make something that didn't exist before.

Knowledge

Learning, and passing that learning on, is essential. Knowledge compounds when it's shared — that's how the next builder gets further than the last.

Away from work

I'm an entrepreneur, so most of my time goes to the projects. When I can sit still, this is where it goes — usually with friends or family.

Cooking: My foremost love. I cook constantly, and it's the throughline behind Vona Food.
Fitness & sport: Training, plus basketball and disc golf when I can get out.
Building things: Technical side-projects — electronics on the bench, game development on the screen.
Markets: I day-trade and trade options, and I like understanding how things are priced.
Learning: A lover of history and of picking up new subjects for their own sake.
Photography: Newer to it — shooting photo and video on a Canon EOS R50V.
