About

With 20 years of leadership experience in various industries such as finance, athletics, sales, and cannabis, I am well versed in all things business. I have cultivated a career defined by innovation and strategic growth. My journey began in finance, where I honed my skills in investment strategy and business analytics, before venturing into the burgeoning cannabis industry. In cannabis, I led sales teams, managed P&L, taught cannabis courses, etc. Transitioning my expertise into the sports arena, I’ve leveraged my financial and business acumen to build sustainable business models in several areas. My approach integrates traditional business practices with modern market needs, focusing on creating value and enhancing performance through technology and data-driven insights. This unique blend of industries has equipped me with a versatile skill set and a broad perspective, enabling me to innovate and lead in diverse markets. Currently, I am a partner in an accounting firm, a full-time account executive, and an entrepreneur leading several small businesses.
