Vice President of Sales

Once I turned 40 I realized I wasted a lot of time chasing titles and comp packages. 

The biggest thing holding me back was I'm not wired to be an employee.

I was fortunate in my 20s to have autonomy, managing the PNL of an eight figure business and turn it around after a disgruntled manager let things fall apart on his way out. 

I managed to lead a second turnaround after that in B2B closing 6-8 figure deals. 

But once Covid hit, I got laid off and leveraged LinkedIn to break into tech. They tried to pigeon hole me in mostly just sales roles or leadership with not much authority over meaningful budget. 

After a handful of companies ran into funding issues, I did end up at a publicly traded company just to quickly realize this was not the path for me.

I wasn't going to put the company before my family and realized I needed to make a big change. I had a friend in real estate doing extraordinarily well. I quit my secure job and I went to work for commission only to learn the business.

There's been a lot of ups and downs, and since then I've launched my own real estate business, briefly a cleaning company that I sold, and now partnered back with my mentor to launch a real estate community to help those learn the same.

I am no longer money focused as my priority is building a life around being present with my wife and kids and only doing work I enjoy. 

While I don't want to be broke. I realized my family would rather have me be present physically, mentally, and emotionally over having a larger house, more stuff and even more vacations. 

It's a new path I'm walking and still learning every day and hope to help others do the same. Fortunately I realized this with my daughters being 10 and 6. Hoping to inspire others to realize the same before it's too late.

I do work with those one on one from career transition, prioritizing family, or even launching their own business. 

Feel free to shoot me a dm if you think I can help.

My dad always told me that the key to success was to surround myself with brilliant people...and I think he was on to something. 😅

All in all, I've had an amazing career filled with incredible opportunities that I never would have even dreamed of or imagined, and it all stemmed from following this simple principle. 

I've done everything from medical device engineering, to growing my B2B Tech copywriting business from $0 to 6-figures in less than a year, to leading the growth engine for an up-and-coming SaaS startup fighting against the status quo of crappy push notifications. 🤺

...and who knows what's around the next turn.

Conversational Tech Copywriter

You're probably really proud of your tech - No one knows it better than you do.

...which is exactly why you shouldn't be writing your own copy.


Wait...What?!?


Yep. That's right.


See, when you're 'too close' to your tech, you start to develop your own language and assumptions.

Worse yet, you start to get blind to what your customers do and don't know.

It's not unique to you, it's just really hard to read the label of the jar you're in.


As an Engineer with an unhealthy obsession with consumer psychology, I can come alongside your technical team and help translate your features and differentiators into relevant and relatable messaging that speaks to your customers where they are.
