Founder · Builder · Operator
I build platforms that connect people.
The last 15 years I've been founding companies, producing TV shows, and building software that connects people in authentic ways. Before that, I spent over 15 years building marketing teams and leading commercial operations at Fortune 100 and Global 500 companies.

Careers Influenced
TEAM SCOUT
Modern websites and team management for youth sports—making communication and coordination easy.
I got tired of watching high school, homeschool, and club sports teams struggle with platforms built in 2014. Team Scout helps coaches and volunteers escape outdated platforms like SportsEngine. We provide modern websites that coaches can update via text, built-in merch stores to help fund team activities, volunteer coordination, registrations, and team communications that actually work. Real support from real people in Kansas City.
Right now I'm focused on selling websites because that creates revenue to fund development. But Team Scout is the full platform—everything a sports program needs to run well.
Made in Kansas City for teams everywhere.

Every venture taught me something. They're either still running or rolled into the next thing.

CREATORSPACE
A marketplace that connects agencies and brands—like WPP and Colgate—with creators and influencers. We handle discovery, contracts, and payments so both sides can focus on making good work.

GUTTED
Three teams compete to renovate a van, RV, or school bus in five days—best build wins. We brought together creators, brands, and van life fanatics for events in Alamosa, Colorado and Smithville Lake, Missouri. The show proved you can make entertainment that's also advertising—if it's actually good. Now streaming on Blankspace.

2016 – 2021
THE JUMP
A social platform built around communities, not algorithms. We raised $7M to build something different—a place where brands earn attention instead of stealing it.
People formed groups based on their interests—from sports teams and theater groups to ski clubs and non-profits. We partnered with YouTubers like Peter Draws, JHS Pedals, Alexander Studios, and many more. Gutted was a proof of concept by The Jump—demonstrating how to create original content that drove people to authentic brand communities.
Creatorspace and Team Scout are both focused evolutions of what we built—connecting people who share interests in ways that benefit everyone.

The Titan Era
My Foundation in Corporate America
Before I started building my own companies, I spent over 15 years operating at the highest levels of the Fortune 25 and Global 500. This was an education in how the world's largest systems are built, managed, and scaled.
I was the strategist tasked with translating high-level vision into functional teams and market-facing brands during their most transformative growth years. These experiences taught me how to think at scale and appreciate the compounding power of large organizations—and ultimately made me want to have more direct influence on culture and outcomes.

Board Service
Public Company Governance
I was elected by shareholders to the board of AirT in 2017. It's taught me governance, fiduciary responsibility, and how to ask hard questions politely.
BOARD GOVERNANCE & FINANCIAL OVERSIGHT
I serve on three committees: Audit, Nomination, and Compensation (Chairman). My role on the Audit Committee requires high-level financial literacy to oversee the integrity of financial statements and the strength of internal control frameworks for a publicly traded organization.
This involves rigorous regulatory oversight to ensure the transparency and accuracy of our complex, multi-national financial footprint. Given our active M&A strategy and global complexity, we engage Deloitte as our independent auditor.
AIR T, INC.
NASDAQ: AIRT
AirT is a diversified aviation holding company and permanent capital vehicle that operates a networked portfolio of 15 independent yet interrelated businesses. We execute a disciplined "buy-and-build" strategy, acquiring and scaling essential aviation companies that span the entire asset lifecycle—from data intelligence and manufacturing to operational flight and end-of-life logistics.
Strategic Capital: Our aircraft asset management platforms, including Contrail and Crestone, manage over $400M in committed capital, specializing in the strategic acquisition, leasing, and fleeting of high-demand narrow-body engines and airframes.
Global Expansion: Following the December 2025 acquisition of Regional Express (Rex), Australia's largest independent regional airline, our portfolio encompasses a global workforce of over 1,600 employees.
Global Intelligence: Amsterdam-based WorldACD serves as the "Bloomberg Terminal" for air cargo, capturing ~90% of global air cargo volumes from 100+ airlines across 150+ countries to provide the industry's definitive market data.
Industrial Leadership: Global Ground Support (GGS) is the sole-source de-icing supplier to the U.S. Air Force since 1999 and a primary equipment partner for major global carriers including American Airlines.
Operational Backbone: Operates a mission-critical fleet of 100+ aircraft for FedEx Express, providing essential overnight feeder services through our airlines, Mountain Air Cargo and CSA Air.
Our businesses are architected to feed each other. By integrating Worldwide Aircraft Services (MRO in Springfield, MO) with specialized storage services in Arizona, we can service, park, or part-out the same equipment managed by our leasing divisions. This vertical integration allows us to acquire assets in mass and maximize value at every stage of their useful life.
