From the Inside Out
I came up through the work — corporate strategy, field operations, leadership development, and the entrepreneurial trenches. I know what it feels like to be the person in the room who has to figure it out, and I know what it takes to build systems that actually hold.
Sixteen years as a small business efficiency expert for a Fortune 50 company gave me the operational playbook. Eleven years building and scaling Mr. Potato Spread — from a single food truck to multi-location brick-and-mortar — gave me the operator's instinct.
That experience didn't just shape me. It drove me to build frameworks, ventures, and teams that give other operators and entrepreneurs the clarity they deserve. Today I work at the intersection of strategy and execution — helping people stop guessing and start growing.
