Bio
I am the President of Meshify, an Austin-based IoT technology company powering third party IoT solutions as a platform. I co-founded Meshify with Lewis Wight in 2010 and led the team through seed funding, venture funding and eventual sale to HSB / Munich RE in 2016. I continue to lead the Meshify strategy and growth under the HSB / Munich RE umbrella as well as advise on the overall IoT strategy at Corporate level. I have invested in more than 10 early stage start-ups and am an active member of the Central Texas Angel Network. Prior to founding Meshify, I worked in Corporate New Technology Development at National Oilwell Varco. I am a graduate of the Georgia Institute of Technology with a BS in Materials Science and Engineering. I'm married to Laura Witbeck and love being a dad to three awesome kids!
