I used to measure success by titles, salaries, and achievements. I worked with brands like Google, Samsung, Roku, and Sony, led amazing teams, and hit all the marks society says make you “successful.” 

But deep down, I felt small and stuck, like something important was missing.

Eventually, I realized I wasn’t living a life that felt true to me, I was living one I thought I was supposed to. 

That’s when I started letting go of the beliefs, expectations, and blockers holding me back. I got honest about what I really wanted: freedom, purpose, and a life I actually loved.

But it meant walking away from my 6-figure salary tech job and into the unknown..

Now, my focus is on living my full potential and helping others do the same. Whether it’s through coaching, creating events/experiences, or working on projects/investments I believe in, I’m all about fearlessly taking action to realign with the life we deserve.

If you’re feeling stuck or just curious about what life could look like beyond the “shoulds,” let’s connect! You’re not alone!

Aggregate improvement after the overhaul -- 90% improvement in execution times, which eventually drove broader adoption of the faster-moving analytics platform.

Independent Consultant

MicroStrategy

"Coffee's for closers."  I drank a lot of coffee.

Had a number of simultaneous roles, but the primary one was technical closer for prospective customers or big OEM and national consulting partners.

Technical closers were on the hook for addressing any and all technical questions that stood between the initial conversations and the signed contract.  

That might require building rapid prototypes and proof-of-concept systems, training a partner's sales team on how to sell our software for us, or defining the high-level integration architecture to make our software work as an OEM solution in another firm's product.

Closed some big deals, and managed some big partners.
