An MBA, plus study across firm-level economics, micro and macro economics, life coaching, and project management. I love knowledge — and I love using it to get companies unstuck.
Faith-led and purpose-driven. I believe real change happens in people, that systems beat willpower, and that the best leaders carry others. Business, leadership, faith, and systems — built for people who are serious about building things that last.
Things I'mwe're building.
Not a portfolio. A working list of ideas in motion — each solving a real problem we keep running into.
