Who we are
First and foremost, I am a husband and father of two amazing young adults. It is, in fact, my family that inspired me to start this journey with a focus on building a legacy not only for them, but for those that I employ and with which I partner. I am wildly motivated by the success of the people around me and lead through that lens. I have spent the last decade (plus) working in value creation, supply chain, procurement, and operations in private equity both domestically and in Europe. All of that said....
