From dental school dropout to building the fastest-growing private company in America — this is how it happened.
I enrolled in dental school. I was supposed to become a dentist. Instead, I realized I was more interested in filling positions than filling teeth.
That moment of self-awareness changed everything. I graduated from UC Davis with a B.S. in Biochemistry and Nutrition, then went on to earn a Certification in Organizational Leadership from Stanford — but my real education happened in the field.
I spent years in progressive management roles at some of the most respected companies in the world: Abbott, Johnson & Johnson, IBM, and Boston Scientific. I learned how large organizations operate, what makes teams succeed, and where the gaps in the system were hiding.
Then I stopped waiting for permission to fix them.
B.S. in Biochemistry & Nutrition. The plan was dental school. The reality was something far bigger.
Management roles at Abbott, J&J, IBM, and Boston Scientific. VP of Talent Acquisition. Learning how the best organizations in the world hire, scale, and break.
Certification in Organizational Leadership. The frameworks that would shape how I build teams and companies for the next two decades.
Co-founded a life science consulting firm with a college friend, out of a spare room. Grew it to millions in revenue before pivoting to a bigger vision.
Became Chairman & CEO of Human Bees — a nationwide staffing and human capital company. Saved millions before launch. Lived on a friend's couch while newly married to protect every dollar.
Half Indian, half Italian — with a grandfather who walked vineyards in Italy. Produced the first Sommras vintage from Atlas Peak, Napa Valley.
Human Bees became the fastest-growing privately held company in America — 22,000%+ revenue growth. EY Entrepreneur of the Year finalist.
Acquired the Sommras estate vineyard at 1,700 feet in the heart of Napa Valley. PulsedIn co-founded to address staffing and mental health shortages in healthcare.
Precision execution across diverse industries. I ask the hard questions, build high-performing teams, and create cultures where people are empowered to make decisions and learn from failure.
I don't wait for permission. I see gaps in the market and I fill them — with full commitment, no half-measures, and every dollar on the line.
I bring more than capital. I offer access to world-class networks and deep industry expertise — collaborating to scale, never to take over what a founder has built.
Winemaker at Sommras, Atlas Peak. Some of my fondest memories are walking vineyards with my grandfather in Italy. That heritage lives in every bottle.
