Where Entrepreneurial Practice Meets Academic Insight
My journey in business began before I could even reach the telephone. Standing on a rolling mechanic's chair in my family's auto body shop, I learned the art of customer service while my father painted cars. This early immersion in entrepreneurship—witnessing both customer-facing operations and back-office challenges—shaped my understanding of business as a powerful vehicle for positive change.
From Family Business to Academic Excellence
Growing up in a family business taught me that entrepreneurship extends far beyond profit margins. I watched my father use entrepreneurship not only as a path out of poverty but also as a platform to create opportunities for those often overlooked by traditional hiring practices. This foundational experience informs my approach to consulting, where I see businesses as ecosystems capable of generating both economic and social value.
My academic credentials—currently completing a PhD in entrepreneurship and strategic management—complement years of hands-on business experience. This unique combination allows me to bridge the gap between theoretical frameworks and practical application, a skill set that proves invaluable when guiding clients through complex business challenges.
Consulting Philosophy
My consulting practice operates at the intersection of rigorous research and actionable strategy. Whether working with early-stage startups or established organizations, I bring an AI-enhanced methodology that combines advanced reasoning models with time-tested business theories and psychological insights. This approach delivers personalized guidance that honors each client's unique vision while optimizing their path to success.
I specialize in helping organizations:
Navigate resource constraints with innovative strategies
Develop sustainable business models that align with founder values
Scale mission-driven initiatives without compromising impact
Build resilient operations in volatile market conditions
Access underutilized capital and partnership opportunities
Beyond Business
My work extends beyond traditional consulting. In early 2025, I founded a charitable organization focused on increasing organ donation awareness in underserved communities. I also contribute regularly to the Entrepreneur & Innovation Exchange (EIX), translating cutting-edge research into practical insights for business leaders.
