Honored to join the Board of Ascend Safety Collective alongside Dennis Mason, Altaline Capital Management and Haven Capital Partners teams.

Vertical transportation is one of those quiet industries where safety, compliance, and service legacy compound over decades. The local operators in this space have built something worth preserving and worth scaling thoughtfully.

What drew me in: the commitment to broad-based equity for the Team. The people who keep these systems running every day should own a piece of what they’re building. That’s not a tagline. That’s the model.

Looking forward to working with Brian Maher, Ian Balmaseda, Dennis Mason, Altaline Capital Management, Haven Capital Partners and the Collective.
