I’m an entrepreneur, media exec, journalist, and author. Most recently, I was the founder and CEO of MOJO, a venture-backed tech and media platform on a mission to make youth sports fun, easy and accessible for everyone. That’s 60 million families in the US and more than 500 million worldwide.

The MOJO app launched in February 2021 and quickly won the Webby Award for best sports app on the internet. Along the way, MOJO was named one of the World’s Most Innovative Companies by Fast Company and one of the best employers in sports by Front Office Sports. We partnered with the greatest leagues and teams including the NBA, MLB, NFL FLAG, MLS and FC Barcelona and our high quality instructional content has helped more than five million families in all 50 states and 178 countries.

In December 2023, MOJO was acquired by TeamSnap, the #1 youth sports tech platform with 25 million registered users and two million daily active users. TeamSnap is owned by Waud Capital, a Chicago-based private equity firm. I now serve on the board of TeamSnap.

In my previous life, I was co-chair of Disney Media Networks and president of the Disney ABC Television Group where I oversaw the company’s global television business with 12,000 employees, $12.5 billion in revenue and 25,000 hours of original programming per year.

Before that, I served as president of ABC News, leading the organization to #1 in the ratings, every major award in broadcast journalism, groundbreaking strategic partnerships with Univision and Yahoo! and record profitability.

Along the way, I exec produced Good Morning America, senior produced NBC Nightly News with Tom Brokaw, and wrote a few bestselling books, including Charlie St. Cloud (which was made into a Universal feature film), The Man Who Ate the 747 (in development as a Warner Brothers Discovery feature film), and The Survivors Club: The Secrets and Science that Could Save Your Life, a New York Times nonfiction bestseller.

For the last 15 years, my favorite role has been coaching my boys and their teams in different sports including soccer, baseball, basketball and flag football. I live in Los Angeles with my wife and teenage son. Our eldest son goes to college on the East Coast and plays varsity soccer. We root for the Dodgers, Liverpool FC, the US Women’s National Team, and I am (a little) obsessed with pickleball, magic, and the royal family.
