Prior to founding Riveria, TJ joined Stripes Group where he was responsible for deal execution and portfolio company management across the consumer and technology sectors.

Outside of Riveria, TJ enjoys spending time with his family and traveling anywhere with a beach. He is also a BBQ aficionado and gym enthusiast and has yet to realize how those two hobbies conflict.
