MOUND TO
THE CLOUD
D1 Baseball
Grew up playing middle infield. Senior year of high school I picked up pitching — that arm got me to college. Two years at junior college, Tommy John surgery, transferred to Florida Atlantic University. Two years at juco, two at FAU.
The Barbershop That Wasn't
Taught myself to cut hair in high school from YouTube videos. Practiced on friends and family. By college I had a full baseball team to work on — then coaches, soccer, football. Joined a fraternity to build clientele. Then every other fraternity. Then other schools. By graduation I had a full book of business.
Sales & The Pivot
First job out of school was selling insurance and investments. Hated the product, loved what it taught me about fundamentals. Taught myself to code on the side. Wanted to bridge sales and technology without being stuck behind a screen. First tech role at Miro, then pivoted into Google.
Finding the Problem
Started in business development and inside sales. Found a passion for fixing internal inefficiencies tied to revenue. Led the design and build of an internal tool equivalent to 27 full-time employees. Took a process from 48 hours to under 47 seconds.
Solutions Consultant
Pivoted into a Solutions Consultant role working in the Telecom division. Helping carriers navigate infrastructure modernization, data strategy, and AI adoption. Enrolled at UT McCombs — top 6 MBA program in the US — to build the business foundation to match the technical one.
DemandForge
Co-founded DemandForge — a B2B lead generation agency focused on helping professional service firms build predictable outbound revenue. Built systems, ran campaigns, and delivered results for clients across multiple verticals.
