My Expertise

I have extensive private equity experience, having sourced hundreds of investment opportunities across a wide array of sectors. I have spent time in the public equity and fixed income markets, and most recently focused on M&A and debt/equity financing opportunities for a leading middle market private equity firm. I have spent my entire career in a client facing role with expertise in financial services and business development.

At Cascadia Capital, I work on the financial sponsor coverage team. I have an extensive network of relationships throughout the middle market and am focused on providing financial sponsors with best-in-class deal flow and investment banking products and services. I bring a unique perspective having spent 6 years at a $1.5B private equity fund.
