I empower founders to turn their dreams into reality.
Mentor · Entrepreneur · Executive
Whether you're launching a business, turning a hobby into a passion project, or pursuing a creative endeavour — I'm here to help you find your path.
What I Do
Supporting founders and entrepreneurs who are ready to take the next step.
My approach isn't about giving you answers — it's about asking the right questions. I believe the best outcomes happen when founders discover their own path with the right guidance alongside them.
Whether you're launching a new business, transforming a hobby into a thriving passion project, or pursuing a bold creative endeavour, I bring decades of real-world experience to help you move forward with clarity and confidence.

Creative Pursuits

Who I Am
Builder, operator, and investor — with the scars to prove it.
I've been in the trenches. I've built companies from scratch, scaled teams, navigated exits, and started over again. Everything I share comes from lived experience, not theory.
Outside of business, I'm a kitesurfer and proud father of two daughters. You'll find me on the water or chasing the next wind window somewhere around the globe.
