I've always been driven to empower others. This led me to co-found Gateway Capital Growth, a financial services company where I serve as CMO. We help small business owners and investors by providing them with access to the capital they need to grow their companies or make strategic investments. Gateway Capital Growth is experiencing phenomenal growth itself.My drive extends further as I built a 7-figure business in the industrial janitorial and cleaning solutions industry in under 4 years. As a manufacturer of cleaning equipment and chemical products, I helped secure $250,000 in capital to fuel the venture's growth through manufacturing initiatives. I've also helped raise an additional $250,000 in capital for other ventures. This same drive to empower others and build successful ventures fuels my work as a General Partner and Co-founder of Funding Impact, a 506(c) investment fund dedicated to families seeking home communities for their intellectually and developmentally disabled adult children. Funding Impact provides personalized, compassionate care, allowing these individuals to flourish.I possess a strong aptitude for critical skills like sales, marketing, and branding. Additionally, I've developed the ability to build strategic win-win partnerships and alliances. Having traveled (and lived in some) to 43 countries across 5 continents and 34 U.S. states, I've gained a global perspective and have done business in many different countries. My business team includes top-tier marketers, capital raisers, real estate experts, sales people and financial & accounting experts with invaluable experience. Notably, one team member's (CPA, CFO, CFE) background with the IRS proved crucial in uncovering and assisting law enforcement with fraud schemes and another has managed over $35M in ad spend, scaled agencies from 0 to 9 figures and helped Alex Hormozi drive so much business opportunity that he was able to successfully sell Gym Launch for $47M. My unwavering commitment extends beyond financial results. When I discovered a former business partner had systematically diverted over a six-figure sum through accounting manipulations over several years, my relentless pursuit and ability to pivot quickly saved the company from the brink of collapse. My understanding of strategy and unwavering determination were instrumental in the legal pursuit, ensuring a successful outcome for the investors. I subsequently exited the company, selling my shares, and left it positioned for smoother operation and continued growth.
