I grew up in Fairfax, Virginia, in a family where business and service were inseparable.Watching my father run his practice has shaped how I view work, responsibility, and community.

Several years ago, I nearly lost my life to septic shock after a series of medical misdiagnoses. Surviving that gave me clarity: life is short, and I want to devote mine to leading a business with purpose over the long term.Professionally, my career has spanned finance, management, sales, and technology across both Fortune 500 companies and smaller firms. I served as Chief Revenue Officer of a regional technology services company, where revenue grew more than fivefold during my tenure. I co-founded a logistics startup that now serves customers nationwide. Earlier in my career, I was recognized as a top national sales performer at leading software firms. 

In every role, I have shouldered the weight of ownership: making payroll, earning customer loyalty, creating jobs, and finding a way forward when times were difficult.

Outside of work, I enjoy boxing, skiing, and sketching. I live in Denver with my wife, Kiara, a social worker. We look forward to moving to and putting down roots in a new community.
