I am a serial entrepreneur who is passionate about startups and business strategy. I currently have my hands in several different industries, including niche Product Development, Upstream Oil & Gas, Utility & Underground Construction, as well as an Online Meat and Seafood Brand that is nationally recognized.My latest ventures include Meat Artisan and Niche Trends. Meat Artisan is premium online B2C Brand offering the rarest Meat & Seafood from around the world, along with all those hard to find provisions associated with cooking them. Meat Artisan's unique model is fueling massive growth and maintains an 80+% online return customer rate. Niche Trends is my private holding company engaged in early stage Product & Brand development. It is where I let all my creative ideas (good and bad) take shape, and currently holds numerous early stage Brand Trademarks and prelaunch product design concepts.How am I different than all the other Consultants and "Experts"? Simple: I'm an entrepreneur who has successfully done it – multiple times. I build companies from the ground up, and I know what it's like to manage labor, equipment, cash flow, work comp, bidding jobs, etc. - everything a business owner worries about day to day.Some of my Highlights:- Gibson Supply, Inc: (7 Figure Exit) Initially founded as a bolt-on revenue stream to provide industrial parts and equipment to existing client network. We developed a premium name for quality and service, which lead to an acquisition by our largest customer.- NexGen Directional: (7 Figure Exit) Founded to expand into Underground Utility Construction which grew to include several Fortune 500 clients like AT&T and Verizon. We achieved rapid growth to mid-7 Figures in under 2 years before being acquired to obtain our contracts in the region.For fun, I am an avid Wildlife and Nature photographer. I have won numerous awards, had my work published internationally in the BBC, Field & Stream, Nature's Best, and even texts books. My photographs hang in collections around the country and abroad.My experience as an entrepreneur has taught me how important it is for entrepreneurs to be able to solve problems quickly, yet deliver quality results. The ability to do this will always separate the great from the good. It's not about knowing everything, but rather finding out what you don't know so that you can learn it!Skilled in E-Commerce, Product Development, Negotiation, Upstream Petroleum, Underground Construction, Operations Management, Management, and Contract Management.
