The Story
Before I ever ran a business, I learned how to run a team. Started in banking at 18, worked my way up fast, led people, managed performance, and figured out early that operations done right is a competitive advantage. Served a two-year mission, came back with a different perspective on leadership and service. Finished my degree at ASU in business entrepreneurship, spent years managing branches and top-performing teams at Compass Bank, then stepped into a new opportunity in 2014 and never looked back. Built my MBA around the work I was already doing. That's how I learned — by doing it, not by studying it.
"I learned that the best leaders don't just earn a degree — they earn the experience to back it up."
In 2014 I joined a home services company, Moxie, in its early stages — the kind of startup phase where the opportunity is clear but the systems haven't caught up yet. We built them. Streamlined operations, developed the team, and turned it into one of the top performing operations in the group. From there, we expanded our model to partner with other markets in the same network, helping them build the same operational discipline and performance standards we'd developed in Phoenix. Today that work spans hundreds of employees and tens of millions in revenue. The through-line was never the industry. It was always the principles.
Beyond the Work
Life's too short for forgettable vacations — or forgettable work.
I'm an Arizona native living in Gilbert with my wife and two kids. Faith and community are central to how we live. My favorite thing outside of work is making memories that stick — 11 days in an RV up the Pacific Coast, a month in Hawaii, and Alaska on the horizon this summer. Life's too short for forgettable vacations.
I believe in integrity over shortcuts, long-term over easy, and showing up fully wherever I am. I hold myself to the same standard I hold everyone else — and I never stop trying to get better.
