Projects

I balance my time between the following areas of work and study that feel most aligned with my vision.

Featured Project:

Impact fund and Philanthropy

For the past 12 years, I’ve invested in early stage technology and funds in support of agricultural and ecosystem regeneration, in addition to some women’s health and cpg products making our world healthier and more whole. Most teams are diverse, and all products + companies are making our everyday lives measurably better.
My philanthropy is focused on public media, the arts, food security, and a healthier and more peaceful planet.

I work in my family's business maintaining and restoring historic residential, retail, and artistic architecture in the Chicago area, where I was born and raised.

I’ve spent the last 6 years restoring and operating the Fine Arts Building, as well as renovating and reopening the iconic Studebaker Theater, now home to NPR’s Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me..!

As a long term oriented business, and with my background in environment, media, and impact, I spent the pandemic starting an investing arm as a part of that family business. See more under Impact and Philanthropy.
