About Nat

Welcome to my blog.  I was born in Houston, currently live in New York City, and have lived in a bunch of other places, including New Orleans, Lafayette (Louisiana), The Hague (Netherlands), Aberdeen (Scotland), and Philadelphia.  I went to school at The University of Pennsylvania (Wharton School), graduating in 2008 cum laude. 

I’m an entrepreneur by trade.  I had a bunch of random companies before I went to college, including a web development and hosting company, a reptile-breeding operation (seriously), and a website allowing users to buy/swap gift cards.  In college I also co-founded an online food ordering website with a few classmates.  In 2007, I co-founded and was CEO of Invite Media, an ad technology company that built a media buying software platform for banner ads.  We were acquired by Google three years later (June, 2010) and now have 75+ employees in seven offices around the world. 

In my free time, I enjoy golfing and fishing as well as playing basketball.  I absolutely despise running.  I am a huge music fan, whereby I’ve been convinced I was born in the wrong era due to my tastes in classic rock and blues.  I am also an avid sports card collector, ranging from modern basketball to vintage baseball and golf cards.

I am also now doing angel investing and advising, working with entrepreneurs who have the product/technical ability to build interesting and disruptive companies.
