A tech leader who built this for his own family first

After three company exits, an IPO, and years as a Sr. Engineering Manager at Coinbase, I watched too many smart people lose fortunes because their "diversified index funds" dropped 30% when markets crashed.

I built Fireweed Capital for families like mine -- people who've worked hard to build something real and need someone who protects it first. I hold a CFP® designation, a Doctorate in Computer Science, and I've personally invested in stocks, bonds, 500+ apartment units, real estate syndications, and nine angel investments. I understand that guarding what you've built matters just as much as growing it.

I live on a lake in northern Minnesota with my family. I left Silicon Valley, but I brought the analytical rigor with me.

Why families in tech choose active management

You didn't build what you have by taking unnecessary risks. Why start now?

Guard what you've built

Not losing money when markets drop is more valuable than capturing 100% of the upside. Our strategies aim to zig when markets zag -- systematic risk management, not gut feelings.

Read the signs

Markets flash warning signals just like the weather. Active management means reading those signals and positioning accordingly, not just hoping things work out.

Tech credentials, fiduciary duty

Three company exits, an IPO, Sr. Engineering Manager at Coinbase, PhD in Computer Science, and a CFP® designation. I bring an engineering approach to managing your family's wealth.

Worth the Investment

Why pay more for active management?

You invest in quality tools, quality education, quality childcare -- because you know it matters when it counts. The same applies to your financial future. Quality management and downside protection have value that cheap index funds simply can't provide.
