Paying it forward

After starting, growing, and exiting two companies myself, my passion lies in fostering the entrepreneurial eco system to promote business launches, to provide mentorship for scale and success, and to provide early stage funding in innovative, fast-growing businesses.

WHERE We INVEST

Great companies are launched across the United States and I am not limited to any geographic region; however, I do have a focus on the Midwest. I was born and raised in the Midwest and feel strongly about investing right here in my backyard.

LEVERAGING my experience

Every entrepreneur needs to bring their "A" game to be successful. I have operated as CEO, President, CFO, Marketing, HR, Sales, and Analyst. I have lead two of my own companies to successful exits and I currently run two successful wholly owned subsidiaries of a publicly traded company.

I am an active Advisory Board Member of the Coleman Entrepreneurship Center where I mentor startups and help shape the tools available to DePaul connected start-ups. I am actively seeking entrepreneurs who are looking not just for capital but also for a teammate to execute their vision.

Advice When You Need It

In an advisory role or as a Board Member, I am ready to roll up my sleeves and help when you need it. I am prepared to leverage my experience and contacts to help drive success for your company.

Scaling Your Business

I grew my companies by bootstrapping, without the benefit of outside capital or mentorship and realize that I have a lot of operating experience that I can apply to other businesses.
