We should strive to do work that frees others from anxiety, frustration, and pain.
Because we're both passionate about serving others, leading with excellence, and doing work that actually matters.
Because I'm wired to be an intrapreneur.
To combine our unique strengths. Allowing us to do far greater things than we could have enjoyably done on our own.

My Backstory
Disclaimer: This is definitely the most boring part of this entire site.
The Early Days
Childhood
I'm so grateful to have been born into a family of self-made do'ers.

First Legitimate Business
High School
In high school, I started my first actual business. A buy-and-flip eBay store where I drop shipped before that was really a thing.
I made $45,000 my first year, which is basically a billion dollars for a kid in high school.
By the time I turned 20, I'd started and sold three businesses.

The Band Years
My Teens
After high school, I joined a band called Day After Day. We treated the band like a business and got to see a ton of the U.S. together.
This is where I began learning to see my blindspots as a leader. Painful, but important lessons.

The Dave Ramsey Years
My Twenties
After moving to Nashville, I joined Dave Ramsey's team where I was intensely mentored on building a successful business.
I'm honored to have been hand-selected by Dave and his Board to oversee the organization's flagship product line: Financial Peace University.

The Agency Years
My Thirties
After spending a decade at Dave's, I moved to Raleigh, NC to lead the strategic transformation of a small private practice into a nationally sought-out brand, including the creation of a full-service in-house agency.
I eventually chose to divest, and I'm really proud to have left behind an ecosystem built to scale, adapt, and continue growing for decades.

Authoring
On the Bookshelf
Along the way, I wrote a book detailing my entire perspective about running professional organizations. Somehow it got picked up by Simon & Schuster.
Not sure what was going on with my hair that day.

PRESENT DAY
Early Forties
When I saw AI search start to erase small businesses, I put together a team to build a modern visibility engine.
That engine became known as Atlas.

The current chapter
Mid-Forties
As much as I love starting businesses, the CEO seat just isn't for me.
As Jim Collins would say, I'm far more valuable 'working within my encodings' as a primary advocate for the business owner's vision.
This allows me to leverage my passion for strategy, systems, and efficiency to create growth within the team and business.

What Matters Most
My Family
When I'm not doing the business leader thing, you'll find me loving life with my beautiful wife and kids and nerding out over Napa Valley wines.

Let's Hang Out
