Founder | CEO at Luminous | Changing Software for Ecommerce

Passionate about all things supply chain, e-commerce, and operations. Helping companies transform their operations through better supply chain data. 

A bit about me: I started my first e-commerce company when I was 23. Back then, it was selling baby gates and barn door hardware across a couple Etsy shops and on Amazon. While continuing to grow my e-commerce business on the side I got a job as a sourcing manager at a distribution company to learn more about high level supply chain with major retailers (HSN, QVC, Walmart, etc.). 

Years later, after helping countless DTC brand optimize their supply chain through running Made-in-China's sourcing division, I noticed major issues in the way e-commerce companies used software in operations. I built and sold an RFQ management system that helped DTC brands optimize their purchasing.  Then, I moved on and became a CEO of a DTC brand at 28. My experience running Qualtry showed even more the gap in the market of software solutions in e-commerce that address the entire supply chain.

Luminous is helping e-commerce companies gain visibility in their data from source to sell. If you're not happy with your software (inventory management, purchasing, RFQ, WMS) then talk to me.

I'm a business software enthusiast with a natural knack for evaluating workflows that are costing you time and money and identifying how to improve and streamline them with software to save you money.

I'm passionate about Product and Project Management using the methodology and tools that best meets the needs of the client/consumer whether that is Agile/SCRUM/DevOps/Waterfall/Burndown/etc or a combination of them. Weekly or Bi-Weekly SCRUM meetings that briefly bring teams together to get on the same page along with Friday Finishers above are some of my favorite parts of being a Product Manager. I also love cultivating an inspirational team spirit that puts fires in the hearts of the people involved with my projects by frequently sharing the vision with them and celebrating with them when they have successes and finish milestones.

My hobbies include: Spending time with my wife and family. Pop culture films, comedy films, and psychological dramas. Hiking and hot tubbing. Go carting and laser tag. Browsing real estate and watching market economics.

I have a religious background in the Mormon faith. (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints). I believe in Christ, eternal families, eternal marriages and redemption through our Redeemer Jesus Christ.
