Passion is the primary ingredient to my being. About me 👇

I forge movements behind undeniable shifts in the world.

I remodel companies from participants to change agents. 

I build teams who's careers are transformed by the audacity of an unshakable vision & intense pace.

Helped build back-to-back unicorns (PandaDoc, Drift). Board experiences in capacity as an executive, founder, small investor, and advisor (and plenty of lessons from my failed startups too, of course). 

Co-Founder of PartnerHacker (acq 2023), Co-Founder of Nearbound.com, Chief Ecosystem Officer at Reveal which was acquired in 2024, Author of #1 Amazon Bestselling book NEARBOUND, and now COO of OpenEd.

Always willing to help those who ask. I've taken hundreds of calls with first time entrepreneurs, revenue leaders, and partnership professionals. Help first, good follows. 

Play long term games with long term people 🤝 

Christ is King.
