Over the past two decades, I've combined entrepreneurship, strategic leadership, and a drive for innovation to make a meaningful impact. I’ve founded a number of companies, including one launched from my college dorm room, and spent nearly a decade as a leader at a Fortune 200 company, where I led digital experience transformation, enhanced customer journeys, and scaled robo-trading operations. These days, I split my time between consulting with companies and running my own custom automotive shop. The shop specializes in off-road vehicles, suspension lifts, wheel and tire upgrades, and other custom builds. What started as a passion project has become a full-fledged business, built around creativity, craftsmanship, and helping people bring their vision to life on four wheels. Whether I’m leading high-performing teams or building custom vehicles, what drives me is the same: solving real problems, delivering quality results, and creating lasting impact. I’m always open to connecting with other leaders, builders, and visionaries. Let’s connect and explore what we can create together.
