Childhood
Hitting the family jackpot.
As a fourth-generation entrepreneur, I'm so grateful to have been born into a family of self-made do'ers.

We should all strive to create something that frees others from anxiety, frustration, and pain.

An attorney, CPA, financial advisor, or insurance broker.
A business owner, just like you, and I'm so lucky to have built my career on serving other founders.
I've started and sold 5 companies, served alongside my heroes, and learned many difficult lessons.
I wrote a few books and somehow ended up getting published.
Running two companies that help local business leaders protect what they care about: Atlas Visibility and FounderGuard.

The Early Days
Childhood
As a fourth-generation entrepreneur, 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 even a thing.
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
Honored to have been hand-selected by Dave and the Board of Directors 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.

Authoring
Book After Book
Somehow I ended up writing a book that got distributed by Simon and Schuster. Then another, and then another.

PRESENT DAY
Early Forties
When AI search hit the marketing agency I own, our team built the system that became Atlas. Now it helps established local businesses stay understood, trusted, and visible.

The current chapter
Mid-Forties
Today, I get to spend the majority of my time helping other business leaders protecting what they've built from the unexpected crisis.

Work with me
I'm genuinely looking forward to getting to meet you.
