Bio

As an experienced entrepreneur, building successful foundations with marketing prowess, creative problem solving, and business development skills, I engage in strategic planning across multiple industries as an owner, investor, and consultant.

The critical role of emotional intelligence in business decision making relies on listening for not only the intellectual content of communications, but the emotion content as well.  Building effective teams requires an understanding of specific talents and capabilities needed to drive successful projects while identifying the motivations of individual team members.

  • I am a Certified Business Intermediary (CBI) and holds his Merger & Acquisition Master Intermediary (M&AMI), having completed over $70M+ in business transaction volume to date. I owns a business brokerage firm through which he helps people buy and sell businesses in the main street and lower-to-middle markets.
  • I own an award-winning creative company that has grown to $11M+ in service-based revenue in under 8 years. I currently serve as Chief Strategy Officer for this data and technology powerhouse working with brands like Disney, L3Harris, Advent Health, Estee Lauder, and Tavistock.
  • I serve as the Chief Marketing Officer for a private equity firm specializing in syndicated real estate and venture capital investment opportunities. I’m responsible for elevating the company’s brand, introducing their offerings to new prospects, and distributing valuable company content. The company has raised over $250M+ in 18 months.

Recognized by the Orlando Business Journal as a 40 Under 40 recipient, I was also recognized by my Alma Mater (The University of Central Florida) as a 30 Under 30. I currently serve as the chair of the College of Business Alumni Board, an Engagement Advisor to the UCF Alumni Board, and an active mentor to UCF students.

While staying earnestly engaged in the study and practice of self-awareness, with an unwavering focus on self-enhancement, integrity is my north star for all of my personal and professional dealings. 

I have passions for (Philadelphia) sports, music, food and travel.  I reside in Orlando, Florida with my wife Lauren, and my daughters Marley and Sloane.
