Background:
Logistics: Family has owned and operated C.S. Logistics, a 150+ employee courier in Milwaukee, WI, since 1998.
UPenn Graduate: I graduated Cum Laude in Economic History from UPenn in 2017.
Career: I started my career in finance at CIT Bank. I joined as employee #5 at a fast-growing, eCommerce brand called State & Liberty. I started Atomix to help emerging brands outsource their time-consuming, backend operations: fulfillment, warehousing, shipping, inventory management.
Atomix: We are a rapidly expanding eCommerce logistics company. We are the only company to provide our micro-pod model to help emerging eCommerce brands increase productivity and profitability. You can learn more about our model at atomixlogistics.com.
My Story:
I’ve been selling, starting, and running businesses before I even knew what entrepreneurship meant.
In high school and college, I co-founded two companies.
Dairyland Lacrosse: Premier training and consulting business for the next generation of athletes in S.E. Wisconsin. I started playing lacrosse in 7th grade and received a scholarship to play at a boarding school on the East Coast (and eventually in college). I took my learnings and co-founded Dairyland with two business partners. We generated $15,000 in revenue and completed 40+ camps.
Fogo X: Started from a seemingly trivial problem, we developed and prototyped a software app to provide the tools, training, and resources for the NCAA, college, and high school coaches.

Inspirations
My father has been my hero and mentor since day one. He started and currently operates a local delivery company in the Northern Midwest called C.S. Logistics.
He built the first house I lived in by hand and continues to be one of the most creative problem solvers I’ve ever met.
Opportunities
I was the last lacrosse recruit to be accepted to UPenn in 2013. As a young, ambitious midwesterner, I had to prove I could make a difference at the D1 level. I was fortunate to be a part of the 2014 Ivy League Championship Team and to be voted Captain in 2017.
After I graduated, I worked in a Consumer Retail Group on Wall Street (CIT Bank). I left to help build a bootstrapped eCommerce brand called State & Liberty. Building and running businesses have always been a deep passion of mine.
Running Atomix is the single most important thing in my life. I’m fortunate to have been able to work with hundreds of eCommerce brands and business owners. I lead a small, ambitious team that is changing our market by continuously applying new technology and practices, and creating innovative solutions to overlooked problems.
