Work With Me

A classroom with students and a teacher, all smiling, standing in front of a digital display. The teacher is kneeling in front, holding a book titled "A Ticket Around the World." The classroom has desks, colorful chairs, and educational posters on the walls.

Non-pretentious entrepreneurship. No secret formula. Just the work.

I help people start and grow businesses — without pretending there's a magic framework. My specialty is the unglamorous stuff that actually moves the needle: starting with almost no capital, raising money creatively, landing partnerships you supposedly have no business landing, and getting unstuck.

How I Can Help

Founder Coaching (1:1)
$0.00

For people with an idea they can't stop thinking about, or a young business that's stalled. We meet regularly, build the plan, and I hold you to it. Expect blunt feedback, out-of-the-box strategies, and someone in your corner who's actually done it — not read about it.

Business Consulting
$0.00

For businesses that need more than a pep talk: operations, fundraising and alternative financing, strategic partnerships, and growth planning. For deeper operational engagements, I work alongside my consulting firm, Tatooine Development, to provide fractional C-suite support.

Why Me?

Seven ventures. Two exits. A coffee company built from a 400 sq ft closet into stadium partnerships. York County Small Business Person of the Year. Chair of the Gravity Center Foundation, where I've helped fund and mentor startup founders through the FUEL program. I've been the guy with the empty bank account and the big idea — that's exactly who I like working with.

How it works: Tell me what you're building (form below) → free 30-minute fit call, where we figure out if I can actually help (if I can't, I'll tell you and point you to someone who can) → we get to work.
