In 2012, I co-founded Pete's Real Food, the nation's first fresh, prepared meal delivery service. I bootstrapped it from a home kitchen to $7M in annual revenue, shipping 10,000 meals per week nationwide with 79% customer retention and 62–65% email open rates.
I acquired Paleo On The Go (81% retention, 7.4 Meta ROAS) and launched and exited a 100-person Amazon DSP logistics business in under 12 months.
My entrepreneurial experience spans industries: meal delivery (Pete's Real Food, Paleo On The Go), luxury goods (Second Crown, pre-owned vintage Rolexes), restaurants (Young Cluck), and premium dog food (Zuel).
Before building my own companies, I spent six years at J. Walter Thompson, managing multi-million dollar campaigns including a $3.4M rebuild of Marines.com. I can think like a big brand strategist and execute like a founder.
What makes me different
I don't just advise — I've actually built businesses similar to the ones I help others create and scale. I know what it feels like to risk everything on an idea, to scale a team from 2 to 30+ people, and to make the tough decisions that determine whether a business thrives or fails.
I combine corporate advertising strategy with entrepreneurial grit and creative storytelling. Whether it's building a Shopify store that converts, crafting email campaigns that actually get opened, or developing a brand strategy that cuts through the noise, I bring both the strategic thinking and hands-on execution that most consultants can't.
Today, I work with founders and business owners who are ready to build something real. No fluff, no coaching clichés — just practical strategy and execution that gets results.
