OCS creates customized programs that allow students to spend their dining dollars at local restaurants and merchants off campus.

Serial Entrepreneur & Coach

Thank you for taking the time to learn more about what I do.

I'm a happy father, deliberate optimist, and serial entrepreneur who built a business from day 1 with an initial team of 3 to managing a 400+ person workforce. 

My mission is to help myself and others become purposeful in life and business, live from intention, and step into their true potential. I bring a new perspective that can support learning and growth.

Over the past four years, I have worked with, mentored, and coached over 350 diverse founders and entrepreneurs from various industries and regions. 

I love assisting other leaders in realizing their dreams, performing at higher levels, and finding greater well-being. 

I work with clients on everything from decision-making and career positioning to personal growth and overcoming anxiety.

In addition to mentoring/coaching, I also enjoy purchasing and developing digital assets, which allows me to indulge my love for product creation and project development, keeping the spark of innovation alive in my journey.

My areas of expertise are: 
✔️ Startups & Growth
✔️ Personal Growth
✔️ Product-Market-Fit
✔️ Mental Strength 
✔️ Fundraising
✔️ Product & Business Strategy
✔️ Leadership & Management

💡My 2 cents: If someone tells you "YOU CAN'T," they show you their limits, not yours.
