An entrepreneurial kid who never grew out of it.
I grew up in Orange County starting businesses before I could name what I was doing: pressure washing, a skateboard company, later a food truck and a commercial roofing company. My best friend was the handy one; I dreamed we would flip houses someday, him on the construction, me on the deals. It took twenty years to close that loop, but the picture never left.
Skateboarding got me further than it had any right to: stunt work in Warner Bros’ Grind and a Honda commercial. Scouting got me the Eagle rank and a habit of finishing what I start. Coleman University gave me a computer graphic design degree and a way to turn obsession into a profession. All three taught the same lesson: you are capable of far more than one lane.
The through line ever since: learn the craft, build the system, hand it to a team, go build the next one. Thirteen businesses later, that is still the whole playbook, and it is the playbook I now teach.
