We’re all on a journey for a reason, never forget it.

My journey began in 2010 leaping into Active Duty.

I grew passionate about developing people, building everlasting relationships, and ultimately solving complex problems.

In 2019, I decided to part ways with the military because I wanted to be a more present father. 

And, I wanted to see what challenges I could tackle.

So, I ditched the uniform, and entered the world of SaaS.

I’ve played a hand in numerous startups at the foundation. From gaining customer #1, growing a team of 7-10, and ultimately being obsessed with the customer in mind.

My purpose in life: help people and forge a better future.

RIA 🔱 Organic Growth + Founder Led Sales | CEO & Cofounder at Poseidon | Skip the $100K lead gen programs | Mechanical leverage + compliance built-in

The LinkedIn Paradox is killing your growth.
Your prospects ignore their inbox but scroll LinkedIn daily. While you're stuck with expensive lead gen programs that cost $100K+ with mediocre results, top advisors are quietly building authority and attracting $80M+ deals through systematic social growth strategies.

Here's what changed everything for my clients:
Within 2.5 months, one advisor landed an $80 million family office deal after the prospects said: "I noticed your videos." That's the power of LinkedIn authority done right.

The problem? Most advisors believe two myths:
"I can't post on social media" (compliance concerns)
"My clients aren't on LinkedIn"

Both are wrong. Your prospects spend MORE time on LinkedIn than email. The opportunity is massive, but only if you understand the science + art of advisor-specific LinkedIn growth.

My background: CEO of a wealth advisory growth company. Former Sequoia Capital. AI engineer building agent-based tools. At Poseidon, we've helped grow some of the fastest-growing RIAs by solving the fundamental problem: advisors only have 4% of their time for business development.

What makes our approach different:
→ Mechanical leverage through AI: Our Poseidon platform runs 24/7, handling prospecting while you focus on clients
→ Compliance-first methodology: Full SEC record-keeping and regulatory compliance built in
→ ICP Matrix framework: Sophisticated targeting that identifies your exact prospects
→ Network activation technology: Algorithm identifies hidden opportunities in your existing connections
→ Science + art approach: Systematic processes with authentic storytelling

Recent client results:
- $80M family office deal closed in 2.5 months
- Inbound calls (not outbound) from 
- 1st degree Connections with Fortune 500 CEOs and CTOs 
- Significant AUM attribution directly to LinkedIn authority building
- ROI positive within 6-12 months

The "4% Problem" Solution:
While other advisors struggle with time-consuming lead gen, my clients build sustainable authority that works even when they're not actively prospecting. No more cold calling. No more expensive, ineffective programs. Just systematic LinkedIn authority that attracts qualified prospects.

Book a strategy call to discuss how systematic LinkedIn authority can transform your pipeline development and position you as the go-to advisor in your market.
