CEO of CPD Advisors | Scaling $5-20M organizations with Regenerative Business Solutions | Author, Speaker, and Trainer

I’ve always believed in designing solutions that unlock forward momentum when the pressure’s highest.

My first lesson came as a teenager, producing a 2,000-person party. When the venue froze operations mid-party, I hand wrote a waiver on a napkin, reopened the doors, and kept the experience alive—ending the night with $30,000 in cash and a crash course in solving problems to multiply momentum.

Today, the same philosophy powers **Million Dollar Machine**—a systems-driven, experience-forward company serving high-performing founders who wish to pioneer new possibilities for running their companies and living their lives.

Here’s the reality: growing businesses are fueled by talent, but crippled by inefficiency. 

When pioneering CEOs operate without structure, they become their own bottleneck. 

Revenue plateaus. 

Teams lose clarity. 

Everyone burns out.

At MDM, we install enterprise-grade systems for service-driven companies—marrying strategy & structure with five-star hospitality principles. 

Imagine if your company became a Michelin-caliber kitchen, where every person knows their role, every station is equipped to perform, and excellence is your operating filter.

The result? 

More peace, higher performance, and profit you can count on.

If you’re ready to multiply momentum, let’s talk.
