Every couple of years we grow enough grapes to get a small harvest. These are cabernet franc. So Margot and I hand squeeze them (very artisanal!) to get juice. Somehow I had the inspiration to add a shot of Dutch Genever to the juice, I (sort of) figured its strong taste would complement the fresh grape juice. And it does! I named the cocktail the Wingding. Now it's wait 'til next year.
I’ve climbed to over 22,000 feet. I remember the first great bottle of wine I ever had (a '64 Margaux), and most since. I wrote and directed an award-winning short film.
I’ve been a CEO, COO, CMO, CFO, teacher, river runner, political consultant, actor, writer and filmmaker. And always, an entrepreneur. I've managed over $150 million in financings, for tech, digital and creative companies. I close deals.
I live at this intersection of art and entrepreneurship, of creativity and business. Can't say I planned it that way, but there it is.
