A Little About Me

I spent much of my career in leadership roles across advertising, technology, and digital media before taking the entrepreneurial leap. Today, I’m the founder of PupJoy, a pet products company focused on better products and happier dogs, and the owner of Packt Logistics, a fulfillment business supporting growing brands.

I’ve always enjoyed connecting people, sharing ideas, and helping entrepreneurs turn ambitious ideas into successful businesses. As Entrepreneur in Residence at Active Capital, I work with startups, industry leaders, and investors through initiatives like Purina’s Petcare Innovation Network, helping foster innovation across the pet industry.

Outside of work, my wife Katie and I live in Glenview, just north of Chicago, with our two kids, Isla & Jack, and our dogs, Hank & Hoagie. I enjoy being involved in our local community and serve on the boards of the League of Very Ordinary Gentlemen (LVOG) and the Glenview Park Foundation, two organizations that help bring people together and make our community a better place.

About PupJoy

I founded PupJoy in 2015 with a simple idea: dogs deserve better, and shopping for them shouldn’t be complicated. Today, we offer our own line of premium treats, chews, and toys alongside thoughtfully curated products from independent brands we believe in. We’re not interested in offering everything—just great products that make life a little better for dogs and the people who love them.
