Service
United States Marine Corps
Infantry — honorably discharged. The Marines set the standard for discipline, accountability, and mission focus that still runs through every operating role.
Available for advisory, board & operating roles
I build strategic partnerships that create revenue.
For more than twenty years I’ve been the person operators call when they need a distribution engine, a franchise system, or a partnership channel that actually compounds. Today I operate a HOTWORX franchise in Honolulu and take on a small number of advisory, board, and BD engagements each year.
Ways we can work together
Four seats at your table.
Every engagement gets the same operator’s lens — how do we turn this into repeatable, partnership-led revenue?
01
Business partner
Co-invest, co-build, co-own. I take equity stakes where I can move the top line and shape culture from day one.
02
Operating executive
Full-time seat as a marketing, revenue, or general management leader. Twenty years of P&L accountability across franchise, DTC, and services.
03
Board member & advisor
Independent director or advisory-board seat for founder-led and PE-backed companies scaling from $5M to $50M+.
04
Business development
Head of BD or fractional CRO. I open doors, close strategic partnerships, and build referral engines that compound.
About
An operator who happens to be a great marketer.
I’ve spent my career at the intersection of marketing, partnerships, and operations — the places where growth actually gets built. I’ve run marketing, opened new channels, recruited franchisees, and now sign the front and back of the paychecks as an owner.
That range is why founders, PE sponsors, and boards bring me in. I’ve been the executive, the operator, and the partner. I know what each seat actually needs to hear.

How I work
“Partnerships beat ads. Distribution is a compounding asset — I build it deliberately.”
“Operator first, marketer second. I only recommend what I've been accountable for.”
“Own the outcome. Comp me on results, not activity.”
Beyond the deal
Service, civic leadership, and a founder’s discipline — the through-line is freedom and ownership.
