About

I make a living convincing organizations to trust people and convincing people to be generous.

I love to help others be at their best. My purpose in is to use a strategic and analytical eye to help improve decisions, vocations, and communities.

In 2010 I founded a company called Frontier. It grew to over $5M in annual revenue and 30+ employees.

Along the way, other companies were started and joined with Frontier, culminating in an exit in early 2023.

Now, I’m coming alongside mission-driven leaders and organizations to maximize their growth.
