My own experiences in the retail sector and those of the countless business connections I’d made across the country convinced me that there had to be a better way to deliver merchant services. When I looked around and found that there wasn’t, I created a better way myself.

Even the best business ideas can flounder without the right people in place. Data IQ set out to transform the hiring landscape, helping hiring managers successfully attract, hire, train, and retain right-fit employees. Bringing together leading business solutions experts, technologists, psychologists, and HR professionals, we created proprietary predictive analytics and AI-infused technology solution. Accumulating data from more than 20 million completed proprietary assessments has resulted in a highly comprehensive database of data, enabling our clients to link their candidates to exact measures of success. Initially designed for large corporate organizations, we repurposed the model to be more affordable and meet the needs of small and medium-sized businesses that were previously priced out of this technology. Our solution leverages psychographic assessments, robust predictive analytics, artificial intelligence, and a series of proprietary candidate-focused tools that remove subjectivity and mitigate unintended bias from the hiring and training process. We assess key areas to determine the likely receptivity, personal interest, and success of a candidate, replacing instinct with objective criteria for making well-informed decisions. ☑️ Predicts talent potential and performance ☑️ Determines an ROI on placements based on their hiring.☑️ Adds value to your existing profiling systems and tools ☑️ Plugs into most common HR tools and organizations

Providing quality healthcare requires taking a holistic approach that addresses an individual’s mental health, as well as their physical condition. When you’re feeling better mentally, you’ll often feel better physically. That was the idea behind Senior Connections, which aimed to deliver mental health counseling services to senior residents of nursing homes and long-term care facilities. Launched in Texas, we expanded the business into Colorado, where we built care teams—board-certified psychologists, licensed professional counselors and licensed clinical social workers—who worked effectively with residents. Having beneficial effects, our data showed that this approach for closing gaps in care both improved patient outcomes and lowered the cost of care due to patients’ improved mental health. While regulatory changes to reimbursement available through Medicare and Medicaid ultimately forced the business to dissolve, this was among the most rewarding things I’ve done. We made a real difference in the lives of these seniors—something of which I’m genuinely proud. ☑️ Closed gaps in care ☑️ Lowered costs for Medicare and Medicaid, as well as for patients☑️ Increased positive outcomes for residents, facility staff, and overall business operations

My entrepreneurial spirit was nurtured early as an eight-year-old helping out at my grandfather’s business, a local sporting goods shop. Opened in 1928, the store became a pillar of the Denver community, with one store becoming two, each known for outstanding service and fair pricing. It was in these stores that I learned the critical importance of treating customers like friends and where I saw the need to innovate for the continually evolving marketplace. It is also where I was steeped in the vital role of the small business owner and the value of community. Assuming the role of Vice President was a natural extension of those lessons. Taking on this leadership role, allowed me to help further evolve the business and its long-term success. Updating and implementing business practices delivered rapid growth with the small-town values that my grandfather so passionately championed until the business was sold in 1989.
