Falling the whole way up — building 0→1 motions, forging alliances,
and figuring it out as I go. Extremely thankful and fortunate.

I'm a hard-working, empathetic, curious, and self-aware Navy vet who's been "falling the whole way up" ever since I stepped off the USS Blue Ridge in Yokosuka, Japan. I'm a great number two who's actively learning how to be a great number one — and I'm not embarrassed to say that out loud.
My superpower is stepping into rooms I wasn't supposed to be in yet, figuring it out, and building structure where there wasn't any. I've built alliance motions from zero, launched AI automations that saved teams hundreds of hours, and talked to over 1,000 customers trying to solve a problem I believed in.
I YouTube everything. I ask questions others are too afraid to ask. And I genuinely care — about the work, the people around me, and leaving things better than I found them.
Where I learned discipline, accountability, and how to stay calm when everything is on fire. Literally.
An AI-assisted mobile app for small business resellers — think Google Lens at scale with accurate pricing. Built to help estate sale and resale businesses streamline bulk pricing lookup and inventory workflows.
End-to-end automation: audio files in, transcripts + meeting summaries + action owners + follow-up tasks out. No manual overhead. Built at PwC for alliance operating cadence.
Single-click workflow that transforms curated market content into brand-aligned LinkedIn videos and posts. Reduced manual BD work by hundreds of hours. Increased cloud-sourced lead generation by 400%+.
Kovu was a GenAI mobile app built for the estate sale and resale world. The pitch was simple: Google Lens at scale, with accurate pricing. Small business resellers were losing money pricing things manually. I thought AI could fix that.
Talked to over 1,000 real businesses. Validated the pain. Designed the product. Built the 0→1 motion. Learned what product-market fit actually means when you're the one trying to find it — not reading about it in a blog post.
A mix of market timing, resource constraints, and the honest reality that being a great number two doesn't automatically make you a great number one. I was learning to lead while trying to build. That's hard. I don't regret it for a second.
Founder-level empathy. Deep respect for anyone who builds something. A real understanding of what discovery, market validation, and zero-to-one product strategy feel like when the stakes are yours. I wouldn't trade it.
Available for contract work, advisory roles, and strategic collaborations. AI, business development, alliance/ecosystem building, or a project that needs a great number two — I'm in.
