Throughout my career, I’ve focused on helping people and businesses become more efficient, productive, and profitable. I specialize in aligning innovative solutions with organizational needs, driving measurable results through strategic partnerships, and advancing technology adoption.As Director of Industry Relations at AE Ventures, I support the company’s marketplace by recruiting North America’s best homebuilders and multifamily companies. This not only enhances the quality and diversity of attendees at AE Ventures’ events but also ensures robust value for the sponsors who invest in the Builder Innovator Summit and our video-first media solutions. Through account-based strategies and fostering meaningful industry relationships, I’ve helped bridge the gap between builders and sponsors, driving measurable outcomes for both sides of the marketplace. My work enables companies to leverage technology, streamline operations, and achieve long-term growth.I’ve raised over $6 million in funding to fuel innovation, scale businesses, and launch award-winning products. I’ve also developed strategies to secure partnerships with leading brands, driving profitability and market success.Beacon Technology Group guides companies to identify opportunities that drive sales and scale. Our expertise spans business development, sales, new market evaluation, pricing strategies, and a special emphasis on agreement/contract negotiations. We help organizations navigate challenges, unlock potential, and achieve growth through tailored mentoring, coaching, and services.I recently launched Beacon Ministries, a platform to promote and utilize the gifts I developed throughout my professional career. Through this ministry, I share God’s love and grace wherever led, helping people find hope, purpose, and transformation in Christ. While predating Beacon Ministries, I launched CE Christians in 2010 at nation's largest trade show, CES to provide a space for Christian to meet during a busy week in "sin city."Beyond my professional endeavors, I take pride in personal challenges that also make an impact. In 2021 and as Commander of my local American Legion, I led a committed Team, the Community, and hundres of volunteers in hosting the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall That Heals. This brought thousands of visitors to our small town and great healing to Vietnam Era Veterans and civilians alike. In 2023, I completed the Boston Marathon.As a submarine veteran, I bring a mission-driven mindset, adaptability, and precision to every endeavor.
