Who we are
Thank you for visiting GarryOwen Ventures!
I launched GarryOwen Ventures as my opportunity to focus on my passion for leadership and solving problems!
I am a former executive and General Counsel for several technology and manufacturing businesses; M&A and corporate attorney with a national law firm; management consultant with a national consulting firm; a solider & leader in the US Army (with 3 combat tours); and, a Division I athlete. My business, athletics, and the military experience gives me a unique perspective for the value of strong leadership in solving problems in wholistic and sustainable ways.
