Stealth Startup

Co-founded new startup. Stealthy for now, but it will hopefully shape the future of the world and change how we develop our neighborhoods, communities, and our way of life.

Co-Founder

This is a gap-filler role, one of the hardest I've ever held. I'm Chief of Staff to a very demanding, but very beautiful CEO (my wife) as we conduct our move from Virginia down to Houston, TX. This role utilizes all of my skills and experience, including (but not limited to):

-Time sensitive deadlines (Starbucks runs, lunch/dinner plans, etc.)
-Internal/external board management (I'd explain, but trust me...all my diplomatic skills are in use)
-Financial management (FP&A, M&A (one RV site was acquired overnight), and global investor relations)
-Supreme supply chain management (Amazon pickups along the road test my skills daily)
-Customer relations/success (I must keep everyone happy, always, continuously, without fail!)
-Wildlife/environmental preservation (120lb Malamute, ESG to the max)
-Sustainable growth/development (RV/moving truck...food/bathroom options take a new meaning)

Loved the opportunity to help those in need during their most critical times. On-board EMT and firefighter. 

Two lessons learned that’ll stick with me for life:
   1. Don’t drink and drive. 
   2. Don’t drink and drive, and forget to wear your seatbelt.

I'm a celebrator...so if you got a new job, left a bad job, got married, got divorced (maybe?), had a baby, or otherwise have something cool to share...I'll like it all day long! 🤠👍

As the Chief of Staff at multiple high-growth organizations, I leverage my MBA and MA degrees, as well as my extensive experience in global operations, global finance, M&A, strategy development, and change management, to drive growth and innovation. I have over 20 years of complex and globally dispersed organizational leadership experience, with a proven track record of optimizing the un-optimizable, navigating ambiguity, and motivating cross-functional teams.

I am passionate about renewable energy and its implementation into large scale markets, and I have a keen interest in emerging technologies and trends. I am also an avid networker and connector, always eager to learn from and support others in their professional and personal journeys. Outside of work, I am a proud husband and father of four, combat veteran, and avid swimmer/weightlifter. I enjoy spending time in the mountains, tackling home improvement projects, and navigating the heat of south Texas.
