Helping startups cut through the noise, make hard decisions with conviction, and scale with focus.
I bring founder-level thinking to the boardroom, product clarity, go-to-market precision, and execution that actually moves the needle.
Former Navy. 3 exits. 1 crash.
I’ve shipped 14+ products, invested in early-stage startups, and advised founders across the startup battlefield.
I don’t do theory - I build, scale, and support those who execute.
