Founder and investor
I scaled a $2B private real estate investment firm as its CEO. Over the past 8 years I built the operating system behind that growth, and it became Fostr AI. Now I deploy Fostr with strategic partners to scale firms from $100M to $1B and beyond in AUM.

Building a business means making decisions about capital, people, and how the company operates. At Fort, I led the investment business and originated the technology vision behind its internal operating system. I directed that development around the needs of the business.
I was CEO and President. I oversaw strategic vision, acquisitions, finances, and annual planning. I led the Leadership Team and the Investment Committee.
I set the technology direction to connect the investment process, from identifying an opportunity through operations and exit. I wanted company knowledge to stay connected, rather than get lost between systems and people. At Fort, that foundation became FOS, with Foster as its AI interface.
The firm, the company, the conversations
01 / The firm
The real estate investment firm I co-founded and led as CEO and President. I set the strategy for the business and its internal technology. Fort’s 2023 investment presentation reported more than $2.1 billion in assets transacted.
02 / The company
The company I co-founded to build AI-native operating infrastructure. I’m connecting company knowledge and context to decisions and execution, so what a business learns can inform what it does next. The ambition extends across industries.
03 / On the record
01 / Retained context
What compounds is retained context: the decisions a company keeps, not the speed of a tool.
02 / Context before tools
I put context before tools. A better model cannot fix missing company knowledge or disconnected data on its own.
03 / Decisions
Each decision should add to what the company knows. Keeping the reasoning and results gives the next decision a better starting point.

Decisions, and the reasons behind them, kept with the company.
