CEO at LaunchBoom | We turn your product idea into a real business

In 2013, I helped launch EcoQube and raised $79,026 on Kickstarter.

In 2014, 1Hour Break saw what I did with EcoQube and we raised $105,343 on Indiegogo.

In 2015, EcoQube C came out with their new and improved version and we helped raise $375,058 on Kickstarter.

Up until this point, my agency Label Creative lacked focus. We were trying to help ALL types of businesses grow with very mixed results.

But with the launch of EcoQube C, it was clear to me that we had found a new, more effective way for product creators to launch their ecommerce brand...

And we were all in.

Within a month, we rebranded our company to LaunchBoom and set out on the mission to help product creators build profitable, 7-figure ecommerce companies.

I'm proud of what we've built...

... Working with thousands of product creators from 40+ countries.
... Driving over $100M in revenue for clients.
... Becoming a Certified Kickstarter & Indiegogo Expert.
... Building a fully remote team across the world.
... Writing the best selling book in crowdfunding (Seriously! Search "crowdfunding" on Amazon!).

But what I'm most proud of is literally watching our clients lives change as we bring their ideas to life and scale their brands.

If you're a product creator and want to bring your idea to life, I'd love to hear from you.

In 2014, I graduated community college as a homeless and food insecure college student

In 2018, I completed my bachelor's degree and delivered a speech to my graduating class about overcoming adversity
