Home: Wellesley, MA; Sarasota, FL. Organization: NetReputation. Title: CEO, NetReputation; Co-Chair, City of Champions. Significant other: My wife and business partner, the most capable person in any room she walks into. Alma mater: Georgetown University.
Current project: Leading NetReputation into its next growth stage while co-chairing the City of Champions golf tournament, now closing in on $1 million raised for prostate cancer research.

I've been on the other side of that diagnosis, and I know what better research means to a patient. What’s been your big (or biggest leap)? Turning a cancer diagnosis into a cause. I had successful surgery four years ago and immediately asked myself: What am I going to do with this? The answer became City of Champions. Hobbies: Golf, connecting people and helping businesses find their next gear.
Personality profile: Competitive but collaborative; energized by people, driven by outcomes. What one word would your closest friend use to describe you? Relentless. Moral compass: Would I be proud to explain this decision to my kids? What is your greatest joy? Watching someone you believed in exceed their own expectations. What is your greatest fear? Leaving an opportunity on the table. What word or phrase do you use far too often? Make it a great day. What is your go-to workout? Golf. Don't let anyone tell you it's not a workout. What ingredient is essential to your perfect vacation? No agenda.
What was your first paying job? Working on a farm at age fourteen. Forty hours a week, $3 an hour. Besides your parents, who has had the greatest influence on your life? The clients who trusted me with their most critical growth challenges; they made me sharper every time. What’s the best advice you received growing up? Sell the outcome, not the service. What modern technology innovation do you most appreciate? The tools that let a small, focused team punch like a much larger one. What personal circumstance has had the greatest influence on your life? My prostate cancer diagnosis four years ago clarified everything: what matters, what doesn’t, and what I still needed to do. Losing my father to prostate cancer at age 60 deepened that perspective even further.
What is your big idea?
Reputation is the most undervalued asset most businesses own, and the most expensive one to rebuild once it's gone.
What change would you like to see in the world? Men taking their health seriously before a crisis forces them to. What message do you want to send out into the world? You don't have to wait for the right moment. Build something, give something, get moving.
What title would you choose for the movie about your life? Not Done Yet. What actor would you choose to play you in the movie about your life? Matt Damon. Boston roots, scrappy, figures it out. As a kid, what did you first want to be when you grew up? A professional athlete. Settled instead for building businesses and raising money to fight cancer. How would you choose to spend tomorrow, if you knew it was your last day on earth? On a golf course in the morning, a long table full of family and friends in the evening, and no cell phone either way. What advice would you give your younger self? The relationships you build matter more than the deals you close. Invest accordingly.
Personal mission: Grow things that matter: companies, people, and causes worth fighting for. Personal motto: Make it happen, it starts with me. Desired epitaph: Showed up, gave back, never stopped pushing forward.
