Founder Helping You Grow | Follow for Daily Leadership & Growth Insights | Serial Entrepreneur | Ex-RBC

Most $1M-$50M B2B companies hit the same wall: what got you here won't get you there.

Your sales team follows five different versions of your "standard" process. Marketing and sales operate in silos. You're building with borrowed tools and broken playbooks. The same cold email sequences everyone uses. The same CRMs with data nobody trusts.

I help revenue leaders build systems that actually scale.

WHAT MAKES MY APPROACH DIFFERENT

My story isn't typical - at 23, as a single dad, I took an unexpected turn into corporate. In big companies like RBC and Mackenzie, I led teams from 2 to 550 people, learning about product development and large-scale expansion. But I constantly wondered: "Am I too late to start my own business?"

That internal struggle led me to leave corporate safety and build two startups in seven years - eventually exiting basix.ai, a sales automation platform backed by Forum Ventures. That experience taught me something critical: the gap between theory and execution is where most scaling companies die.

Now I bridge three worlds:
→ Corporate operations experience (scaled systems at Fortune 500 level)
→ Entrepreneurial experience (built and exited SaaS company)  
→ Technical automation expertise (hands-on with Clay, Make.com, n8n, HubSpot)

WHAT I'VE HELPED CLIENTS ACHIEVE

→ Generated 9-figure revenue growth for clients and employers
→ Scaled bootstrapped businesses to 7 and 8-figure heights
→ Built full TAM in Clay for enterprise outbound teams
→ Developed GTM playbooks that get used (not filed away)
→ Created systems that let leaders lead again

I don't just provide strategy. I walk the path with you. From Fortune 500 boardrooms to founder-led scrappy startups, I bring operational depth and clarity to every engagement.

MY PHILOSOPHY

Most consultants give you frameworks. I give you forward motion.

I don't chase buzzwords. I build revenue engines, simplify execution, and unlock leadership potential with precision and empathy.

This is not theoretical - it's battle-tested across 10 roles in two companies before venturing out, building two startups, and now advising through Techstars and Predictable Revenue.

If you're stuck in complexity or scaling feels like survival, let's talk about bringing order to chaos and traction to your strategy.

On a mission to help leaders | Grow their Command Presence | Sharing content about leadership and influence | Posting about the journey

Developing leaders who can be trusted when pressure is high and clarity is low.

Retired Infantry Officer with 21+ years of command experience, Bronze Star recipient, former commander, and TEDx speaker translating battle-tested leadership into real-world application across classrooms, teams, and communities.

I currently serve as a Teaching Assistant in elementary education, working daily with students to build discipline, confidence, communication, and character at the foundation level, where leadership habits are first formed.

Leadership isn’t theory.
It’s modeled, practiced, and repeated.

My work focuses on:

• Command presence without ego
• Decision-making under uncertainty
• Trust-based leadership and service
• Developing people before developing outcomes

Whether guiding students, mentoring adults, or speaking from the stage, the mission is consistent:

Build leaders who serve first, think clearly, and act decisively.

If leadership development, character formation, or keynote speaking is relevant,
send a message. Let’s start the conversation.

"It's not about me, it never has been, it never will be."
