Chief Growth Officer

Bootstrapping Business Architect | Building revenue-first companies to $5M/yr profits by leveraging technology (HubSpot + AI) to stay lean!

Serial entrepreneur. RevOps architect. Founder @ Peddle 🚴‍♂️

I help B2B SaaS & service companies (with $2M–$50M ARR) scale their revenue using lean startup principles, HubSpot, and AI. My agency, Peddle, is a Platinum HubSpot Partner built to turn messy go-to-market strategies into repeatable, scalable machines.

From launching a college startup and winning funding, to building healthcare businesses during a pandemic, to helping founders automate their revenue engines — I’ve lived the startup rollercoaster and now help others ride it with a map.

💥 Specialties:
→ Revenue Operations (RevOps)
→ CRM Strategy & HubSpot Implementation
→ Lifecycle Mapping & Sales Pipeline Design
→ Onboarding, Training, and SOP Systems
→ Building GTM Systems That Actually Scale

Let’s connect if you’re tired of winging growth and ready to build something that runs while you sleep.

I’m always on the lookout for ways to give back. Some of the community organizations I've worked with:

A Plus Family Care - provided OB/Gyn & primary care services to underserved (medicaid) patients.

The Urban Ministries - helped provide free/pro bono healthcare to communities in need.

Making Magic Alliance - sat on the board and helped raise funds to send kids to summer enrichment programs. Statistics show children involved in summer enrichment programs have higher tests scores, higher acceptance rates for college, and greater overall success!

Venture Cafe - an MIT & IBM joint venture in the Cambridge Innovation Center (CIC) on MIT's campus in Cambridge, MA, one of the largest entrepreneurship incubators worldwide with +800 startups in the CIC office. 

In the Raleigh area, we created a program to help the men & women's Oak City Care's homeless shelter by partnering with food trucks to support the Oak City Cares mission of feeding our community members in need.
