About
I build partnerships that actually move the needle. At the Texas Restaurant Association I manage a $1.2M partner portfolio and built the account management program from scratch, one that now serves 15,000+ member restaurants. Before that I scaled a startup from one client to twenty in under five months. The through line is the same everywhere: find the right people, earn their trust, make it worth their time.
Outside of work I love the ocean, surfing, and anything that gets me outdoors. I grew up on the water in Laguna Beach and that never really left me. These days that energy goes into Ironman training, which means early mornings, long miles, and a lot of time thinking clearly. I’m also genuinely obsessed with what AI can do right now, not in theory. This site is a small proof of that.

Built with AI
Over the past year I’ve built and implemented AI systems at the Texas Restaurant Association that meaningfully increased productivity across the organization. Prospecting workflows that used to take hours now run in minutes. Partner reporting that required half a day of manual pulling is automated. None of this came from a technical background. I picked it up fast, figured out what actually worked, and put it into production.
My tool of choice is Claude. This site is a live example of that: no template, no agency, built in an afternoon with Claude handling the code and me handling the decisions. The Strava section below pulls my real training data. The whole thing is a working proof of concept for how I use AI at work every day.

AI prospecting system
Built and deployed at TRA. Researches prospects and personalizes outreach at scale without losing the human feel that actually gets responses.
Operations
Automated reporting
Partner utilization reports that used to take half a day now run themselves. Real time saved, real productivity gained across the team.
