"I believe I was born an engineer. I've always loved trying to find the best and most efficient way to do anything. For example, when my dad asked me to cut the grass, I kept searching for ways to complete the task in the least amount of time and at the lowest cost. I've spent years studying fitness research to develop the most efficient workout routines that require minimal time. Likewise, I've obsessed over the details and techniques for making the best coffee on the planet. This approach extends to many aspects of my personal life, and I bring the same passion to my work. Throughout my career, I've focused on using technology to automate businesses, enhance efficiency, and increase profitability.

I've successfully built two national companies that continue to operate today. Both prioritize delivering higher-quality services at lower costs through the utilization of technology. As I built these companies, I honed my skills in capital raising, software development, and scaling startups. In today's landscape, the opportunities to enhance productivity through software are limitless. You can leverage off-the-shelf SaaS solutions, develop custom software, or integrate both approaches.

As I raised capital for my own companies, I found out there were a lot of different opinions on how to do it. I've raised capital on credit cards, loans, lots of small investors, and venture capital. What's the right way to do it? Well, that depends on a lot of factors. After years of trial and error, I know how to do it the right way, and I'm passionate about helping others with the process.

Currently, I'm raising capital to further scale one of my own companies, Blue222 (https://blue222.com/). Additionally, I am working with a team to build a venture studio. This venture studio will focus on funding, staffing, and nurturing very early-stage startup companies in the central part of the U.S."
