"My first job was at Subway, but my first meaningful career job was helping to start Facebook during my time at Harvard. I spent a lot of time with Mark Zuckerberg, Dustin Moskovitz, Chris Hughes, and the other founders of the company. We worked together on various things and discussed ideas for projects we thought were cool. One thing we discussed was the concept of creating a universal Facebook."
"During one winter break, Mark wrote the first version of Facebook and asked if I wanted to handle the graphics and design. I was there for the first year and a half of the company. I returned in the summer between my last few years of college. I didn't go back to Facebook after I graduated. Instead, I traveled for a year through 40 countries."
"After my trip, I sold some of my Facebook stock and became an entrepreneur-in-residence at a couple of VC firms. I was introduced to what was then called Tivli, and is now Philo, where I became an angel investor and advisor. I met the other cofounders of Philo, a streaming and live television service, when they had just built the prototype in late 2010. I immediately fell in love with what they were doing and became an advisor when they began raising money."

He invested in and advised Tivli, later renamed Philo, after meeting founders who had built a prototype in late 2010. He fell in love with the product and joined as an advisor, later becoming Philo's CEO in September 2014. He structures mornings around family wake-up, checking Slack and headlines early each day.
