I grew up sprinting uphill. When my father passed away leaving us with nothing, I was eleven—instantly responsible for a household. That hard-coded an iron ethic and a hair-trigger sense of urgency into everything I do. I’ve been fighting for every inch ever since, turning scarcity into a habit-forming advantage.
I see business models the way engineers see blueprints: spot the load-bearing beam, reinforce, and scale. Whether it’s heritage tourism, bottled water, or escape rooms, I build systems that print cash instead of burning it.
“Outside the box” is too timid; I live outside the warehouse. From smart moorings that talk to satellites to horror podcasts that monetize folklore, I chase ideas others label “impossible” and convert them into revenue streams.
Fast wins are worthless without a clean ledger. I’m ruthless on execution, but non-negotiable on integrity. Partners and clients know I guard their reputation as fiercely as my own.
Plans are worthless if they gather dust. I operate with a sailor’s respect for weather windows—move now, or miss the tide.
Business is my sport. I’m obsessed with turning blank spaces into assets—heritage sites into cashflow, digital dead-zones into ecommerce engines. I pursue ventures that light me up: sailing, cars, tech, storytelling, and any project that pushes culture (and my balance sheet) forward.
I start with nothing, imagine everything, and execute until the numbers salute. If that sounds like the partner, consultant, or co-conspirator you need—let’s talk.
