Full bio

Engineer and executive with extensive experience developing early stage technology companies, with a recent segue into the food industry as chef/owner/founder of Hava's Kitchen, channeling my passion for flavorful healthy food into a a very well-reviewed Mediterranean-inspired home meal delivery service.

My background is in communications equipment - the plumbing of the internet - as well as in management of imaging-related software development projects.  I've also dabbled in documentary filmmaking. The three companies I've been associated with at a senior level (as VP or CEO), have had exits in the $10M, $300M and $400M range.  

For fun, I'm a Type-A yogi, and an avid surfer.
