Director of Business Development (Growth Guy)

BlueFin Strategies LLC

Principal

Morgan Stanley

In 2022, I assisted Vic Roy with transitioning his Private Wealth business to Morgan Stanley. This business consisted of a multi-family office approach with an average client net worth of $50M+. We also continued our initiative in Exit Planing towards the SMB/MMB space by advising on multiple eight and nine figure exits. This clearly led to a deep focus on estate and legacy planning. 

Within my first few months at Morgan Stanley, I was invited to apply and ultimately accepted to be a member of the prestigious PWAA program that only accepts 10 members per cohort.

During the transition to Morgan Stanley, I was able to re establish as well as enhance many of the tax optimization strategies that I deployed at UBS.

Private Wealth Advisor 

Investment Consultant

I joined Managing Director Vic Roy in 2021 as a partner to lead the strategic planning practice within his private wealth business. Within the first year on the team, I implemented multiple strategic planning initiatives that helped to boost production by 25%+ during a bear market. These strategies helped our clients to optimize their tax efficiency as well as protect their downside.They included:

- Pairing direct index investing with opportunity zone funds
- Security backed lending arbitrage with structured yield investments 
- Pre sale planning around the SALT Tax workaround among other strategies 
- Private foundation creation and implementation

Financial Advisor 

During my time as a WPA, I worked with the top teams in the DC market to create and execute strategic planning engagements. The majority of my work was with founders planning around M&A or exit transactions. One of the teams that I worked with exclusively was The Capital ESOP Group, one of the leading advisors in the 1042 space.

While in the role, I worked on billions in collective exit value where strategic planning led to tens of millions in tax optimization.

Mitch Best

I am a blue ocean strategist operating from a perspective of abundance. Life has provided me with more than I ever imagined and I am dedicating my professional life to the betterment of HOW the world works. Co-founder of the Matium and Tomorrowmade companies that focus on digitizing and automating raw material supply chains in order to increase market efficiencies, expand the economic viability for recycling, and provide real-time data to regulators and investors for the purpose of industry growth and sustainability. 

I love making music, camping, and seeing the world. Have lived on borrowed time for long enough to know that big ideas are worth trying. Think big, fail fast, and forgive often. Together is the only way anything works.

Matium's AI has identified 35,178 global plastics buyers and sellers and digitized their buying and selling habits based on our three-tier ranking algorithm. 

Simply put, we know what everyone buys and sells and who the best buyers and sellers are in each material category. We know where their plants are and have some of their contact info.

Intelligence subscribers get all of this data - a major competitive advantage for folks in the plastics industry trying to grow their business. Simply enter in the material you are trying to sell, and our AI suggests you buyers to reach out to. 

We will soon expand this technology to papers and metals. Tons of major announcements coming in Q1. 

Stay hungry folks!

Empowering manufacturers, recyclers, and traders | Matium | Tomorrowmade

I’m building an AI agent on my phone to automate targeted marketing functions for industrial sales between sets at the gym. 

2026 is a different animal.

It's 2026 and materials still get sold on emails and phone calls. If you're like us and think AI and technology can help your business optimize margins and liquidity, we'd love to chat. Check out our new website at matium.com and book a call, or join the network for free and see the value for yourself!

And yes, I built the website with AI while watching Sunday Night Football.

Solving the plastics waste problem with the datasets provided by legacy market infrastructure is like asking someone to clean up all the metal on the beach with no metal detector. 

The very act of spending resources on an undefined problem is wasteful, or at best - gambling. 

Digitize supply and demand, optimize material flows with thoughtfully placed processing capabilities, increase market efficiency by decreasing barriers to entry. 

Systematically drive lower costs, lower carbon footprints, and less wasted time. 

Strategy matters.

Sourcing materials shouldn't be a full-time job.

We realized that too many of you spend hours combing through listings just to find one decent match. So, we built something to do the heavy lifting for you.

Introducing Monthly Supply Recommendations.

Instead of you searching for the needle in the haystack, we bring the needle to you. Our system looks at your specific buying profile (material, grade, location) and drops the best matches directly into your inbox.

By subscribing, you get:

Curated Supply Deals: Buying opportunities ranked by how well they actually fit your needs.
Market Updates: Bi-weekly breakdowns on pricing, policy, and trends (so you know when to buy).
Coming Soon: Customer Recommendations—we’ll soon help you find buyers, not just supply.

Let the tech handle the sorting. You handle the closing.

In material markets, the ones with the best information, logistics, and financing win.

Big news coming soon for Matium and those running their trades through the platform.

Every day we don’t operate with urgency is another day our children will struggle. 

A friend questioned why I mentioned that we “had no time to waste”, and it brought back the reason why I left a 7-figure trading income to digitize the industrial markets. 

There’s a future for the industrial markets that is fully connected, empowers all participants, and optimized for cost, energy, and time via free-market competition. 

This evolution delivers lower prices for consumers, less waste in the world, and greater agency for humanity. 

Simply put, an ecosystem where man, machine, and interconnectedness powers fulfillment of the materials and products humans need for shelter, food, and water enables humans to spend more time living and connecting with others. The thing we all want the most. 

Relationship. 

With all of that, how could I possibly lay off the gas?
