01 About
I've been self-employed since I was 19, starting in the earliest days of the commercial internet. Over three decades I've built and sold businesses across SaaS, digital marketing, data operations, M&A advisory, and lead generation.

Today I operate a portfolio of companies that together serve the full B2B growth-and-exit lifecycle — identifying leads, booking meetings, building sales teams, sourcing acquisitions, and guiding founders through successful exits.
I studied philosophy at the University of Washington, which taught me how to think — not what to think. That foundation shapes how I approach business: first principles, long-term thinking, and respect for the people on both sides of every deal.

Outside of work I'm a musician, martial artist, husband and father of two.
