I am a venture-backed hard tech strategist and product builder with a proven track record in scaling businesses through strategic funding and operational excellence.
With my start in Semiconductor and Irradiation Services for Fortune 100 Defense Contractors, I honed my accounting and marketing skills to specialize in validation, deal-making, growth strategies, and business development. I identify opportunities, close high-value deals, and lead teams to execute with precision. My focus is on driving sustainable growth through strong unit economics and optimizing top to bottom go-to-market strategies for long-term success.

I’ve spent my career working at the intersection of entrepreneurship, venture capital, and private equity — helping founders build out their sales organizations, craft effective go-to-market strategies, and drive real revenue growth across portfolio companies. Over the years, that hands-on work has given me a deep network of business owners and investors across North America. I'm currently bringing this experience and community to VNTR Capital as Chapter Director for VNTR Texas, where I help connect founders and LPs with opportunities that make sense — not just on paper, but in practice.
I’m a graduate of the Virginia Military Institute, and I live in Texas with my wife Gabriela, our two sons, Robert and Quitman, and our overly confident French bulldog, Dash.
Whether you're a founder navigating growth or an LP looking for aligned access and disciplined execution — I’ve been in the room, built the team, and driven the results.
