About

I’ve spent most of my life building things.Some worked.Some failed spectacularly.A few almost broke me.I’ve started companies, raised venture capital, built and scaled a 7-figure agency, and rebuilt more than once after things went sideways. Like most founders, I’ve lived through the sleepless nights, the pressure of making payroll, the moments where you’re not sure how the hell you’re going to pull the next quarter off.I also know the other side of it.The feeling when the business is finally working, revenue is growing, customers love what you’ve built, and yet you’re completely buried inside the machine you created. Winning on paper, but exhausted, overworked, and stuck in the day-to-day.That’s the reality of entrepreneurship most people don’t talk about.Today, I serve as Director of Business Strategy at Acquisition.com, where I work directly with founders and leadership teams to diagnose the constraints slowing their growth and help them build companies that actually scale.The founders I work with are typically doing between $500K and $50M+ in revenue. They’re already in the arena. My role is to help them identify what’s really holding the business back, whether that’s offer, marketing, sales, hiring, or execution, and help them move through the next stage of growth with clarity.What I bring to the table isn’t theory.It’s years of hands on, in the trenches consulting for over 1000 businesses. Seeing the same patterns over and over again. I’ve also been a founder myself while trying to be a good father and husband. It’s fuckin hard! Believe me, I get it!Entrepreneurship is one of the most rewarding paths in the world. It’s also one of the loneliest.If you’re in the arena building something real and want some help unlocking the next stage of growth, let’s talk.

I work directly with founders and leadership teams to diagnose the constraints slowing their growth and help implement practical solutions to scale revenue, operations, and leadership. At Acquisition.com, we host intensive workshops and advisory programs for founder-led companies typically doing $500K to $50M+ in annual revenue. These founders come to pressure-test their businesses, identify what’s actually holding them back, and leave with clear execution plans. My role is to help identify the real bottlenecks, whether in offer design, brand, marketing, sales, hiring, or internal execution, and guide teams through the strategic decisions required to unlock the next stage of growth. Before joining Acquisition.com, I spent years as a founder and operator, including building and scaling a 7-figure agency and launching multiple venture-backed companies. That operating experience shapes how I approach advisory work today, grounded in what actually works inside real businesses.
