About me

Boy oh boy, do I have some stories about interesting cohabitants of ours. Since August 2022 I’ve recruited 1300+ candidates for various startups the globe over. Some are bootstrapped, some are VC or PE. Some are Israeli, some are Canadian, some are totally 100% remote.

But they all share themes of Founder-led, scrappy, <$50m revenue and hungry to grow. So, we at srch help such businesses grow by recruiting the most exciting leadership in their market. And with the data an experience of interviewing so many people, I’ve had the pleasure of seeing firsthand the intricacies of both wannabes and ballers alike.

You, dear reader, have the pleasure of reaping the benefits of so many conversations distilled into your inbox a few times a month. We’ll highlight things like succession planning (when to get out of your own way and hire a doggone CEO); compensation negotiation tactics, job interviewing, candidate interviewing, moving your career forward, and tons of other info that will get you to the next stage of your career.

About me, you ask??

I’m a parent of 3 (soon to be 4) tiny humans, and between srch and kids, I stay busy. But doesn’t mean I’m not curious about geography, geology, wildlife, adventure travel, skiing, hockey, my place on earth among 8 billion other humans, evolution, and anything else that compartmentalizes my experience.

I was a TERRIBLE student Freshman/Sophomore years in College before a chance class assignment introduced me to the world. From there, I crushed college.

I was an All-American football player.

I “think” I am an All-American fantasy player.

I lived in South Korea for 2 years and traveled all over Asia.

I beat Marshawn Lynch in ping pong.

I want to be isolated in nature more than I get to.

I dig tuxedo T shirts.
