About

Clarity. Speed. Transformation. Results.

I build and scale companies, serve on boards, and lead transformations where technology changes what a business can do. Twenty-five years in, the discipline is the one I learned in the Army: lead from the front, take care of your people, and finish the job.

My story

I started in the U.S. Army, serving lastly in the 101st Airborne Division, where I was inducted into the Sergeant Audie Murphy Club. The Army taught me that standards, discipline, and trust are not slogans. They are how hard things get done.

After the Army I learned B2B cold calling at Sprint, then local, regional, and national account technical sales at Verizon, where I led the transformation of the lowest-performing region for integrated machine-to-machine revenue to second nationally within two quarters. At Worldpay I built nontraditional payment distribution with Microsoft, AT&T, Sprint, and Verizon. At Amazon I owned the international expansion strategy for the B2B gift card and incentive division across nine countries.

Then I bet on myself. I bootstrapped Hinge Global in 2015, designed the business model and systems to transform marketplace and digital commerce for Fortune 500 and startup companies alike, and took it from concept to private equity exit in four years, with two private equity transactions in 2019 and 2023.

Since 2023 I have led commercial strategy and operations, with a Top Secret clearance, for a defense technology company, turning a services contractor into a product-led platform business.

Off the clock you will find me on the water, in the field, at a game, or with my family. Through our charity, I spend time with veterans and first responders building their next chapter.
