Consumer brand leader, entrepreneur, startup mentor at Blackstone Launchpad. Currently building at A-Frame Venture Studio.

After building and selling a few SaaS and consumer brands in San Diego, I co-founded A-frame venture studio to drive change in health, well-being, and human connection. I'm always interested in connecting with other founders, investors, creatives and technologists building for a healthier people and planet.

Mirth requests: care@drinkmirth.com

We genuinely did not expect this.

Mirth was born from a desire to create a clean, emotionally intelligent product for all ages - like a Disney movie in a can.

We went to five of the top flavor labs, all claiming to use the cleanest, most natural ingredients.

But every single one used “natural flavors,” which (spoiler) can mean hundreds of lab-derived chemicals hidden behind misleading labels.

We walked away.

What we didn’t expect was how many people had been waiting for something like this.

The response from the chronic illness and POTS community has been overwhelming - folks who need electrolytes daily, and have been searching for a soda or sparkling water they can actually trust.

No added sugar.
No dyes or artificial flavors.
No “natural” flavors that aren’t natural at all.

Something safe.
Something joyful. 
Something...real.

We’re so grateful to those of you sharing your stories - we’re learning, and we’re listening. 🧡

Kicking off a much needed Mirth website refresh today with Jarenz Castillo and Thomas Wang of Wisper Studios!

Not because anything was “broken” but because the brand has grown up a bit.

If you want to go far, go together. 

I always think of that when we kick off with new partners, and today was no different. 

Onward ✌️

Somewhere on the long bike ride we stopped. 

Looked up, and saw sunflowers and a pond. that was a Mirth moment.

We chose this photo for our Startup CPG feature because it represents where our hearts are in this brand. 

Built outdoors, and fully present recognizing all the beauty around us. 

(plus we haven't shot founder photos yet, that's next week)

These bike rides clear our heads working on the business and digital worlds behind mirth. 

Grateful for moments like these.

Huge thanks to Startup CPG for featuring our story and Lauren Palmer for your dedication to sharing it from a mountain top. 

Or in this case.. from the sunflower fields 🌻

I love people who give more than they take.

Bob Dalton is one of those people. Proud to back him, LOCL, and more tech that helps humans meet in real life.

I’m excited to see this grow as infrastructure for healthier, more human connection.

If you believe the future is local, this one is worth paying attention to.

I’m a morning person who loves to get a jump on the day. I thrive on complex problems, strong tea, and the chance to learn and grow through stretch opportunities. 

My career started with chemical engineering roles at a late stage biofuels startup, a massive chemicals/materials conglomerate, and a medium sized industrial company. I’ve enjoyed spending time as both an individual contributor and as a people manager. After my MBA, I pivoted to my current role with Google Cloud as a Sales Strategy and Operations Manager. I’m excited to be a part of the digital transformation that will revolutionize the way businesses operate and interact with their customers in many industries.
