Frequently Asked Questions

Recovery and renewal. That build was a massive entrepreneurial lift, and it took a lot out of me physically. It ended with surgery that paralyzed my left arm for a year. It was a long recovery, and in the end, the ingredients weren’t aligned for me to pursue that specific goal any further.

I won't be entering any jiu-jitsu tournaments soon. My limitations are mostly positional fatigue, but I have full "executive level stamina" for 8+ hour days and walk a 5k every day. I'm resilient and ready to go.

I’m casting a wide net for a role where I can make a real difference. Sometimes that’s a CXO role, other times it’s a strategic Manager role. I can be a great teammate, or I can lead the charge. I’m looking for the right fit and the right mission.

I get that. My value isn't a specific rolodex or 10 years on one piece of software. My value is that I’m the person who can learn your entire industry in a month and build the system you need while integrating all the stakeholders.

As an analyst, consultant, and owner, my core skill is consuming high-level legal, engineering, and financial material and translating it into a revenue strategy. I’m the "Integrator" who can talk to your engineers, your CFO, and your customers—and get them all aligned.

Been there, done that, got the t-shirt. At a previous company, our advisors' digital assets were hacked (outside our system), and I ended up spending a lot of time as the de facto IT/security lead. That experience, combined with speaking to highly compliant, two-sided markets, made me strategically shy.

I did direct our entire social strategy and branding via Hootsuite—I just prefer to be the architect, not the public-facing "influencer."

deally, a company that is serious about growth—whether that's new vertical applications, a start-up/pre-IPO stage, or an established enterprise I can help build. I’ve bootstrapped two companies, but I’ve learned that having the right resources is critical to achieving significant growth.

Location-wise, I’m in the Detroit metro area and am open to relocating. I’ve been searching the Midwest and East Coast, but my body might appreciate somewhere warm. I'm very open.

 I need to be in a growth opportunity, reasonable base, and participation reflective of the long-term revenue I build (raises, stock, overrides, commissions, etc.). I am open to different compensation packages but total comp, benefits, as well as the opportunity and location matter.

 I’m bright; have a good heart; and I can be precise without getting lost in the minutiae.
