About

My #1 passion is teaching. #2 is building AI businesses. I’ve built and exited 3x tech companies. Invested in 100+ others. Spend 98.2% of my time building AI startups at Martell Ventures (AI Venture Studio) Wrote a WSJ best selling book https://www.BuyBackYourTime.com Play life full out (wake surfing, snowboarding, mountain biking) at the highest level… … and I love people and travelling the world with my family training and speaking on the biggest stages. Oh, and did all that after ending up in jail and rehab at 17 years old. It’s been a journey to say the least.
