I am a local Seattleite, who grew up in South Seattle. I attended the University of Washington and played baseball there. I was hired into a coaching role at the UW as soon as I was done playing, and coached for 6 years. I then transitioned out of the UW and went into business for myself in 2006. I fell in love with entrepreneurship and sold my first business in 2023. Prior to closing I co-founded another company that went through a merger in 2025. After two exits I found the opportunity to help other business owners do the same.
I have three kids and a wonderful wife, am deeply passionate about supporting under resourced communities, and I sit on the Board of Trustees for the Alumni Association at the University of Washington. Additionally, I am completing an MBA from UMass Amherst.
What is your "why"? Why do you do what you do?
