I’ve built and sold businesses, managed $200M portfolios, and now help owners maximize value at every stage.
My Track Record of Creating Value
The Royce Detroit
Built and launched a wine bar from the ground up, transforming it into a profitable, brand-driven success. The project delivered an ROI of 144%, demonstrating the effectiveness of strategic branding, targeted marketing, and operational excellence in driving sustainable growth and value creation.
Miracle Manor
Acquired a distressed property, invested in targeted renovations, successfully doubled revenue, increased occupancy by a significant margin, and reduced operating costs substantially. Within two years, the property was sold delivering a strong ROI of 35%. This demonstrated my ability to identify value, execute effective turnaround strategies, and generate meaningful financial results.
Corporate Finance Leadership
At Deloitte, I manage FP&A for a $200M+ portfolio of commercial accounts. I lead a team of eight analysts, building financial forecasts, scenario models, and risk frameworks that protect margins and prevent losses across multimillion-dollar engagements.
Education
Executive MBA, Quantic School of Business & Technology (4.0 GPA)
Bachelor of Arts, University of Michigan
Design & Brand Equity Foundations
At The New York Times, I led a 22-person digital design team, delivering user-centered experiences that built trust and engagement at global scale. I earned the Publisher’s Award for operational excellence—proof that strong design translates directly into business value.
What I bring
What ties all of this together is perspective. I know what it feels like to risk my own capital as a founder, to wrestle with the realities of turning around an underperforming business, and to be accountable for multimillion-dollar portfolios inside a global firm. Few advisors have sat in all three seats. I have, and that’s the lens I bring to every engagement.
I bridge entrepreneurial grit with institutional finance discipline. That means I don’t just hand over reports, I help leaders make decisions that move the needle on growth, capital, and valuation.
Where others might focus on numbers alone, I also understand how brand equity and story shape what buyers, lenders, and investors are willing to pay. Numbers matter. But the narrative behind those numbers is often what commands a premium.
If you’re approaching a growth stage, considering outside capital, or planning for an eventual exit, I’d love to explore what’s possible for your business.
Beyond the numbers
Outside of work, I’m a kayaker, hiker, and early-morning sunrise chaser. My dog, Sam, is my trail buddy. These passions keep me grounded and fuel the creativity and discipline I bring to every project.
