🎯 Helping entrepreneurs start, grow, and scale sustainable companies. TheMondayReset.com 💪 Veteran. Father. Coach.

Success in business isn’t about being the best. It’s about making sure the right people know who you are and what you stand for.

Fifteen years ago, I was deep in the trenches—coding as a software engineer by day and experimenting with marketing by night. Back then, I believed success required grinding endlessly, sacrificing sleep, and putting everything else on hold.

But over the years, I discovered a better way.

Today, I’ve built and scaled multiple digital companies and now run a marketing and coaching agency that helps business owners grow their businesses sustainably—without the 16-hour days, and without sacrificing health, relationships, or sanity. 💯

My focus is helping entrepreneurs achieve long-term success through clarity, smart systems, and strategies that align with their vision. No empty promises. No shortcuts. Just real, sustainable growth.

Here on LinkedIn, I share insights from my journey—on leadership, team management, marketing, sales, and the principles that have shaped my approach to business.

If you’re a business owner who’s ready to grow in a way that feels right for you, let’s connect.
