Partner at GrowthX Capital

GrowthX is a venture capital firm and leading market development accelerator. We make seed-stage investments and insource our team of experts to work alongside the founders at select portfolio companies to help them build and execute a market development plan. Products are unique, but the path to product-market fit and predictable revenue is not (and we've got it down to a science).


About us

  We help companies grow through capital, talent, and know how.

We're working to spread hope and prosperity through entrepreneurism, innovation and education.

Ran One-and-Only.com.  The largest dating site of the 90's.  We were acquired by Tickmaster City Search in 1999.  They also bought Match.com and rebranded our business in Dallas as Match.com.  Briefly ran Match.com during the transition while the businesses were being combined.


About us

  Today, 1 in 3 relationships originates on a dating product. In 1995, Match.com launched as the first online dating destination, and is still the leader today. Over the last 20 years, Match has expanded its reach to 25 countries, five continents and is translated in 8 languages. But Match’s biggest impact lies in the millions of dates, relationships and marriages it’s helped create — more than any other dating brand.

Since 2008, Match has doubled in size from essentially one brand to over 45 market-leading brands with users in nearly every country in the world. In 2015, Match took our portfolio of brands public as Match Group.

Match Group is the world’s leading provider of dating products, with a portfolio that includes Match, OkCupid, Tinder, PlentyOfFish, BlackPeopleMeet, OurTime, Meetic, Twoo, and many other brands, each designed to increase users’ likelihood of finding a romantic connection.

Match.com

This was the holding company for One-and-Only.com which became the largest dating site of the 90's.  We had over 1,000,000 profiles and were in the top 100 websites in overall traffic.  Sold to TicketMaster City Search in 1999 for $47 million dollars.

Semper Fidelis distinguishes the Marine Corps bond from any other. It goes beyond teamwork—it is a brotherhood that can always be counted on. Latin for "always faithful," Semper Fidelis became the Marine Corps motto in 1883. It guides Marines to remain faithful to the mission at hand, to each other, to the Corps and to country, no matter what. Becoming a Marine is a transformation that cannot be undone, and Semper Fidelis is a permanent reminder of that. Once made, a Marine will forever live by the ethics and values of the Corps. In addition to Semper Fidelis, Marine Corps Officers also embrace the phrase Ductos Exemplo, "to lead by example," the motto of Officer Candidates School (OCS). Instructors look for candidates who display self-reliance, discipline and responsibility. Desire and motivation to lead Marines are deciding factors in an officer's success.
