I built companies.
Now I build communities.

A large group of pilots felt their union wasn't pushing hard enough to raise the mandatory retirement age, and wanted to build something of their own.

I built their website and social channels, running the campaign quietly for two years while it raised real money for a Washington lobbyist.

The effort helped drive the Let Experienced Pilots Fly Act into the Senate. The bill is still moving toward a vote — and I'm still the organization's IT lead.

In 2023, I worked alongside a father-son team building a company that helps people navigate legally changing their state domicile to Florida — serving as a sounding board, building the website, and bringing in the database architect who became a key early hire.

Two partners at a wealth management firm were parting ways. I worked with each of them independently to reach a mutual agreement on the sale of part of the book from one to the other.

That led to referrals across four other wealth management firms, several of which brought me in for websites and digital marketing.

Later, I worked with the original selling partner — whose total book was nearly $1B — to place the remainder with an outside manager, structuring the deal so he kept a commission and salary running the trading desk.

I've served on the board of a private religious elementary school and as a Trustee at a JK–12 day school — budgets, salaries, and the decisions that keep a school running well.

The company was ahead of its time — videographers covering high school and college games, indexing footage on top prospects ahead of the draft. The technology worked. The runway didn't.

In one of the final board meetings, I was the dissenting vote against raising another round. The team had underestimated the capital they'd need, with no guarantee of break-even, and a key hire was already leaving over unpaid salary. I moved to wind the company down immediately — no raise, no debt, no burned relationships.

It wasn't the popular call. Two days later, the CEO called: the board had come around. They shut down within the week, owing no one. Years later, that CEO called again — to offer me the old domain name. I gladly accepted.
