I dropped out of college in 2012 (industrial engineering path) when I accidentally became a start-up CEO, which forever changed my perspective on business, leadership, and life... ___________________________________________________________________________________ Fast forward to 2020, after years of blood sweat and tears, I architected and survived an exit... So naturally, I immediately joined a start-up.... got promoted.... quit...then started a venture studio focused on AI product development and AI enabled GTM... Then I joined Wipfli I've started, failed, and scaled many times I've toured over 2000 production facilities, co-developed numerous innovative software technologies, and developed business models that challenged the status quo of industry juggernauts I've coached/advised 50+ founders on their product, GTM, and mental sanity strategies I've maxed out credit cards, taken out six figure PPP loans, hired, and fired... I've landed 7 figure contracts and secured some of the world's largest companies as customers I grew up in a middle class family in a small town in east Detroit I've climbed machu pichu, surfed in Barbados, and enjoyed the hot springs of Iceland I'm a proud new father, husband, and neurodiverse intrapreneur X pioneering business developer I care deeply about the success of people and the future of humanity ------------------------------------------------ As member of the national growth team at Wipfli, I live at the intersection of technology, innovation, and business strategy.
