About Me
[ a.b.o.u.t.m.e ]
Hello World!
I love tech startups. How they work, how they scale, and especially how they are financed.
I’ve met with and analyzed financial statements for hundreds of technology startups. Each meeting I learn something new. I started this blog to share those discussions and debates openly.

Who am I?
I’m a Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA, CMA). Before becoming the CEO and co-founder of Levr.ai, I spent years in business banking at BDC, CIBC, and RBC.
Plot twist: after years of analyzing and financing startups... I started one.
What’s on here?
Startup finance, AI, small-business lending, old internet, Canadian tech, founder lessons, side quests, and the occasional extremely specific opinion.

I’ve gone from Edmonton to Vancouver to Palo Alto with my family—my wife, Deanna; our daughter, Aria; and our dog, Captain Jack Sparrow.
The map pin moved. Canada remains pinned.
The Fine Print: The opinions I share will be my own. Especially the bad ones. I’ll take full responsibility/credit for those right now.
