Hi, I'm Ford.

Impressionist painting of a river winding through a western valley in autumn: golden trees line the water beneath sage-covered hills and lavender mountains under a pale, cloudy sky.

I'm currently an investor at Chicago Ventures focusing on Pre-Seed and Seed stage technology investments. I've always been a builder at heart, from LEGOs and liquid-cooled gaming PCs as a kid to partnering with founders today. I've spent my career investing with the same obsession: pulling things apart, understanding how they work, and helping put better versions back into the world.

I'm interested in fintech, AI infrastructure & energy, developer tools, and real-world vertical AI solutions.
