Before embarking on this path, he founded and served as Executive Manager of The Fossicker Fund, a $100 million buy-out fund.

Prior to joining MeridianTelesis, he founded and operated a private equity fund named Equisition Capital and a boutique investment banking firm named Infusion Capital. His work experience also includes tours of duty in BT Alex. Brown Private Client Group and with two prominent Philadelphia law firms.
