For more than three decades, I’ve built my career as a technology entrepreneur and investor, dedicated to creating lasting value for my family, partners, and employees. Since 1992, I’ve founded and successfully exited six companies spanning technology and real estate.   I have acquired seven companies and integrated them successsfully In 2021,  I completed the sale of my primary business—a global telecommunications company to a $5 billion private equity firm.

​

Drawn by my lifelong passion for skiing and the inspiration of the mountains, I relocated from South Florida to Colorado after 30 years to pursue new opportunities from a fresh vantage point. I consolidated my holdings to establish Barton VC, a focused investment platform dedicated to building a world‑class portfolio of equities, alternative assets, and luxury real estate.

​

Since 2003, my active and passive investments have produced a combined internal rate of return (IRR) of 24.2% across all deployed capital.

At Barton VC, we adhere to a disciplined investment strategy, targeting select venture opportunities and complementary traditional and alternative investments that deliver sustainable, long‑term growth.
