6x Sales Leader - 4x Founder - 3x Author - Sales Consultant + Advisor - Diversified Entrepreneur

I help founders and revenue leaders scale better, and have the results to prove it. Having worked with 12 unicorns and being part of 15 exits has given me a variety of experience across segments and verticals.

Since going full time on my own, I've worked with 160+ companies from all around the world on GTM strategy and process and automation; sales playbook creation and messaging, revops processes and operational rigor, executive sales recruiting, ae coaching/training, cs expansion revenue, channel partnerships and more. 

Additionally, I coach VPs/CROs/Fractional sales leaders; run a small VC firm called Milos Ventures, and run a micro conference and podcast that provide people with a safe space to learn, grow, and develop their skills called The Surf & Sales Summit.

I've written two Amazon #1 best-selling books: "Addicted to the Process" [2017], and "More Than a Number" [2021]. I also co-authored "From Rep to Manager" [2021] w/ Ryan Walker. 

In my last operating role as the SVP Sales at Qualia, we went from zero paying customers to Unicorn status in just 3 years. I built the sales motion and team from scratch, as we built the first settlement system in the title industry to take advantage of modern technology.

I have spent my entire professional career building and scaling early stage startups, and have a proven track record of lifting organizations to new heights with limited resources allocated to the task at hand.

Officially tapped out on workouts while wearing Otto.
Turns out 30 pounds is my limit.



I pushed through.
I even had fun.
But my back and knees? 

They filed a complaint halfway through.😂
I’m kidding.
I can handle it.
These 137 pounds are stronger than they look.

But here’s what hit me:

We’ve gone from newborn snuggles
to a whole mini grown man hanging off me during workouts.
That kind of growth sneaks up on you.

Happy Monday.
Move your body today.
It’s the only way I can stay sharp, focused, and productive at work.

Let’s get it. 👊

No alternative text description for this image

My 1-year-old was thriving at the world’s toughest playground.

IMG Academy 

The same place I trained, lived, and competed for over a decade.
The place that shaped my mindset, my discipline, and my career.

So why bring Otto?

Because greatness is everywhere there.
Environment matters.
And he’ll learn that work ethic is generational.

I didn’t get handed anything at IMG.
Nothing came easy.
Everything was earned.

And bringing Otto back was intentional.

We don’t know his sport yet:
Football.
Basketball.
Baseball.
Tennis.
Doesn’t matter.

What we do know:
He’s an athlete.
He wants to compete.
And he’s already obsessed with learning new things.

This trip wasn’t about nostalgia.
It was about legacy.

About showing him where it all started…
and introducing him to the mindset that built our family.


2034, we’ll see you soon, IMG.
