Hello

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.
