Founder, builder, wired different.

Most blogs pick a lane. My brain does not work in lanes. It works in tabs. Usually about seventeen at once. One is AI. One is football. One is a startup idea. One is a problem I cannot stop thinking about. Somehow they all connect. Living Wired is where I write down what happens when they do.

I have spent most of my career in sales. More than twenty years of it, most of that in cybersecurity, selling for companies whose logos you would recognize. I was good at it. I helped one company grow revenue 500%. I helped another double in a single year and scale past 60 people. I sold for Cmd right up until Elastic acquired it.

Selling was never the whole story. I kept starting things. I co-founded a company that used AI to fight spam and robocalls. I co-founded a DevSecOps startup and ran its growth. Some of it worked. Some of it did not. I learned the most from the ones that did not.

Then last year something broke open. I got obsessed with AI. Not the hype version. The build version. I went from selling other people's software to making my own. I taught myself Next.js, Supabase, and a pile of APIs, mostly at night, mostly by breaking things until they worked.

That turned into Ventenova. I am the co-founder and CEO. We are building an AI research platform that helps investors see what a startup is actually doing, by pulling together the public signals nobody has time to read and pairing them with the financial picture. It is at MVP right now, in pilots with VCs and angel investors.

I am also a dad. I have ADHD. I stopped trying to turn my brain off and started building with it instead.

"Wired different, not wired wrong."

Living Wired is not a resume. It is where I think out loud about building things. Companies. Products. Systems. Sometimes myself. The topic changes. The builder does not.
