STORY / 03
I believe opportunity is everywhere. Sometimes it looks like a business idea. Sometimes it is a problem everyone has learned to live with. My instinct is to see what could be different, question what is getting in the way, and build a strategy to move it forward.
BEFORE THE TITLES
I built my career through sales, business development, and entrepreneurship—fields where nobody owes you attention and credibility cannot be faked for long.
Over more than twenty years, I learned to listen for the problem underneath the request, translate value without hiding behind jargon, and understand that a relationship is not a shortcut to the work. It is part of the work.
ENTREPRENEURSHIP
I’ve built businesses in signs, woodworking, and photography, and I co-own 25Fifteen Solutions. Each began with a different kind of opportunity. Each required the same practical work: understand the customer, shape the offer, and make the value clear enough for someone to choose it.
Ownership keeps strategy honest. An idea needs a market, the numbers need to make sense, and someone has to deliver. That experience shapes how I lead growth, evaluate possibilities, and help move a business from its current state to a better future state.

A decade in technology and cloud taught me that complicated is not the same as sophisticated. The best technical solution is the one the organization can understand, defend, operate, and grow with.
That is where my Challenger mindset matters: ask the question that changes how we understand the problem, test the assumptions, and make the case for a better path. Then translate that path into decisions people can understand, support, and act on.
EDUCATION
In September 2023, I earned a Bachelor of Science in Business Management from Western Governors University. In 2025, I completed my MBA.
As the first person in my family to graduate from college, the degrees mean more than credentials. They represent a decision that timing does not get the final vote—and that an unconventional path is still a path.
PURPOSE
My work at a tribally owned organization, involvement with the Milwaukee Intertribal Circle, and former service as CTO and co-treasurer of Strong Native Minds reinforce something I already believed: success is too small a goal if it only benefits the person achieving it.
I care about work that strengthens relationships, expands capability, creates access, and respects the generations who will inherit what we build.
WHAT I BELIEVE
See opportunity in ordinary problems.
Challenge assumptions with a better question.
Move forward on purpose.
Keep learning without performing expertise.
Build success that other people can stand on.
The rest of the picture
Leading business growth around digital infrastructure, cloud, colocation, and customer strategy.
Business experience across signs, woodworking, photography, and technology. The common thread is turning a possibility into something people value.
Preserving connection, personality, and the details people will someday miss.
Drones, hydroponics, servers, RC cars, woodworking—there is always another system to understand.
See the opportunity. Understand the gap. Build the strategy. Follow through with purpose.
