I am a journeyman entrepreneur an investor a growth strategist a mentor a problem solver most importantly, a dad

I’ve always been driven by the idea that the future is already here, just not evenly distributed. There are amazing people and companies out there literally changing and shaping the world we live in today. This is why being an entrepreneur and investor allows me to participate in this mind-blowing transformation.

Though with everything said above, my family plays the central role in everything that I do. My wife, 3 kids, two Spanish-Water dogs, & two rabbits on the Costa del Sol in Southern Spain.

Always on the lookout for what is new, I am excited to connect with people in many industries and locations. Being a journeyman entrepreneur, I aim to serve as a passionate guide, a connected investor, a dedicated problem solver, or even a willful guinea pig for new ideas and projects.

Who is a journeyman entrepreneur?

I’ve been an entrepreneur for a long time, but alas – I’m not an expert. I call myself a “journeyman entrepreneur” because I find great joy in learning from people who achieved more than I did and finding ways to use their insights.
Having led my award-winning digital marketing agency in the INC. 500 twice and having several 7-figure exists, I know exactly what it takes to get where I am today, but I’m still exploring the opportunities to reach the notorious 8 figures and beyond.

Previous experience

I have more than 25 years of professional experience across business strategy development, sales and marketing, recruitment, remote company development, and operations efficiency. I’ve spent most of my career working across industries like CPG, tech/SaaS, health & wellness, financial, travel & hospitality as an investor, founder, and consultant.
My professional time is divided between my own projects and investing in other businesses. So far I’ve invested in many different startups and am involved with several investment funds including TinySeed. Besides that, I am an advisor to Private Equity and VC firms, run a strategy company, Insights Lab, and host the Beyond 8 Figures podcast.

Whats’s next

Right now I am exploring acquisition entrepreneurship. My core interest is in digital businesses between $750,000 to about $2 million in free cash flow in the B2B space, predominantly ones that serve small to medium businesses.
