Operator. Founder. Builder.

The ventures that tested the thinking

Each company here is a direct application of the frameworks in the books — built, operated, and assessed without revision of the record.

Venture One

Built from a thesis, exited on its terms

A B2B services firm founded on the premise that category clarity precedes revenue. Scaled to 40-person operation, acquired by a strategic buyer in year six.

Venture Two

A media property built around rigor

An independent publishing and curriculum business. Built an audience of 80,000 subscribers over four years without advertising spend. Currently active.

/ Advisory Work

Current roles, selected engagements

Active advisory positions across three early-stage companies. Engagements are diagnostic in structure — defined scope, measurable outcomes, no retainer theater.

How the work gets done

Diagnosis before any prescription

Every company started with a documented hypothesis — not a pitch deck. The operating logic was tested against actual market conditions, and the record reflects what held and what didn't.

Open to serious partnership inquiry

Current ventures and advisory capacity are limited and selective. If the fit is clear on both sides, the conversation is worth having.
