20 years ago, I was that scrappy hustler starting ground-up companies, building and growing them into nationally recognized brands. Throughout that time, I was involved in multiple large-scale M&A events. Today, I spend most of my business life overseeing, building, and buying FinTech companies—shaping each to become the best in class, while managing our C-level staff of amazing executives.I love seeing what’s not obvious: a need in an industry, the potential in a person, or an innovative solution to a stubborn problem. That’s how 100GROUP came about. I realized a common trend where most business owners were juggling multiple service providers and vendors, which was slowing them down and hurting their businesses due to inefficiencies and cost management. We then decided to solve this problem by developing a single platform that provides the resources most businesses need. Our unique approach has been enthusiastically welcomed by our clientele, ranging from some of the most popular businesses in the world to small mom-and-pop shops. Coupled with this mission, we are also focused on maturing and acquiring FinTech companies in niche markets.100GROUP synthesizes many of my career’s themes: identifying problems, creating solutions, partnering with business owners, and delivering second-to-none service, via our amazing staff and the unparalleled culture of our company. We are a true FinTech company in every sense. We provide niche industry software, payment processing, VoIP, and business insurance—all on a single platform.We are constantly developing new partnerships and alliances, with the #1 goal of ensuring that 100GROUP clients continue to receive the best of the best in VIP products and service.Outside of being 100GROUP’s CEO, I am involved in many local nonprofits as well as City Planning and Development. As a past planning commissioner, my goal was to assist in making it easier to do business in our city. With a personal understanding of the needs of a business owner, coupled with the City, County, and State rules and regulations, my mission was to bridge the gap. As a Board Member of the Moorpark & Simi Valley Boys and Girls Club, I work hard to ensure no child is left behind. Children are our future, and I strongly believe in nourishing great mental, emotional, and educational well-being for our youth. In such, my involvement in the community and its youth is one of my most passionate endeavors.If you feel that we can make a difference together, please message me on LinkedIn. I look forward to connecting.
