Hey,
I’m Chris

I’m a general partner at Contrarian Thinking Capital, an early-stage VC and Main Street holdco focused on operating and investing companies across the real economy. Before this, I spent a decade in the Navy - training under pressure, leading teams, and learning what matters when stakes are high. Now I apply that discipline and contrarian lens to life and ideas worth wrestling with.
