Frontiers are meant to be explored.
My journey to space helped me discover my true purpose and role in pioneering new technology — and that is as an investor. Since June 2025, I have deployed my own capital in alternative investments that push boundaries and fill me with a spirit of adventure.
Together with a group of like-minded individuals and venture capitalists, we have exchanged ideas and co-invested in groundbreaking ventures.
This year, one such investment seeded a former Blue Origin engineer who is now creating advanced drone engine technology critical to U.S. national security.
I source and manage all my investments end-to-end, conducting extensive research and due diligence to pinpoint strong target opportunities. I focus on late-stage venture capital.
I look forward to meeting you and expanding my network. While profits matter, it is the relationships and connections built during our short time on Earth that are the real treasure we are all searching for.
