Co-Founder and CEO

1st Gen Entrepreneurs

I offer coaching & consulting to business owners who want to grow with purpose.

As the first person in my family to start a business (aka 1st Gen Entrepreneur) I know the challenges that come with navigating the unknown. After building my first business from scratch and selling it 15+ years later, I enjoy sharing my hard earned lessons with others so they can succeed.

Business Coach

SKYE Technologies

I founded SKYE Technologies in 2006 to address the tech needs of small businesses in the area. What started as a "one man show" evolved over a 15 year period before selling the company.

As true partner for our clients, we aligned our business interests with theirs. This model enabled us to put technology to good use in a way that helped them grow and succeed. We prided ourselves on starting and maintaining mutually beneficial relationships.

As the founder, my personal experience included:

- Providing strategic technology consulting and advice for both existing and potential clients
- Developing new business through networking, advertising and referrals
- Maintaining strong relationships with existing clients
- Ensuring customer satisfaction and responsiveness to feedback
- Creating and evolving internal processes to increase efficiency
- Researching new technologies and examining their benefits/drawbacks as they pertain to business

In July 2021 we announced the sale of SKYE Technologies to a larger regional firm.

Founder & CEO (Exited in 2021)

I ❤️ 1st Gen Entrepreneurs • Learn more at 1stGen.biz 👊

I'm an IT guy turned Entrepreneur who loves the art of building and growing successful businesses.

I started my first business (Skye Technologies) in 2006, grew it organically for 15+ years, then sold it in 2021. 

After that, I began offering business coaching/consulting under the banner 1st Gen Entrepreneurs. As the first person in my family to start a business, I know what it's like to learn everything the hard way. My goal with 1st Gen is to help others in the same situation to build healthy, sustainable businesses without as much headache & heartache.

Most recently, I became the CEO of a new venture called Skye Equipment Rentals. As a proud, independent, locally owned business, we are looking to become the #1 source for contractors in Oldham County and surrounding areas for all their construction equipment needs.

Thanks for taking a look at my profile and feel free to hit me up...  I love to talk business ☕️

Brian & Donna Blackburn, principal founders, each bring 30+ years of entrepreneurial experience offering unique sets of professional skills and expertise that combine to produce a strong level of insight and capabilities.

Brian & Donna believe strongly in doing the right thing for all involved. They believe that multifamily investing is a profitable opportunity for anyone but know that managing the asset is a great responsibility. While safeguarding their investor’s money and helping them grow their wealth, they can also improve the quality of living for their tenants. This philosophy allows Donna & Brian to create a win-win situation for all – their investors, their tenants, and the communities around their properties which will yield them referrals, tenant retention and great returns.
