Who am I
JOIN PATRICK’S INNER CIRCLEHello
I’m a multi-time founder and builder with experience across consumer, technology, and services. I’ve launched companies from zero, navigated scale, built teams and systems, and learned firsthand where growth breaks execution.
Today, I work in a fractional operating capacity with leadership teams when the founder can’t (and shouldn’t) carry everything alone — bringing clarity, structure, and momentum to the business.What I'm Known For
- Bringing operational clarity when priorities blur
- Translating strategy into execution and ownership
- Building operating rhythms and systems that reduce chaos
- Unblocking founders and leadership teams during transition
- Helping businesses scale without burning out the team
Background
- Founder & CEO, Dude Magic® (consumer brand build: product, ops, GTM, fundraising)
- Founder, DogTown Builders (real estate investment + development operations)
- Entrepreneur in Residence, 500 Startups
- Founder/CEO of multiple companies, including an acquired men’s skincare brand and an acquired online/offline consumer services business
How I Choose Work
I’m selective about who I work with. I partner with founders and leadership teams who value integrity, accountability, and high-quality execution — and who want to build companies that treat people well while performing at a high level.

Operator for founder-led companies navigating growth, complexity, or transition
When It's a Fit
This is usually a fit when:
- Growth has outpaced the company’s operating system
- Execution is inconsistent across teams
- The founder is the bottleneck for decisions and progress
- Priorities are unclear and teams are pulling in different directions
- You need a trusted operator to step in and stabilize momentum
