25 years of Fintech // Payments experience. I've had my fingerprint on 4 major organizations over those years, including Authorize.Net (Visa), Platinum Management Group, Platinum Payment Systems and Zift. Learned a ton of amazing life lessons along the way! A major focus in my career has been centered around growing each organization of which I was a part, including revenue, people, and preparing each business either for the next stratosphere or for exit.Seeing where a company had started, and where it was positioned when I exited, has brought a ton of authentic satisfaction to me personally, and for and with those I had the pleasure to serve.I try to live life with no regrets! Work hard, play hard, be present, never give up (thanks to my dad) be authentic, have integrity, and try to be the kind of person my mom thinks I am.I love life, and I love people! My family, business, spiritual and personal growth all hinge on how I interact with and treat others. If I'm willing to help someone in need, if for no other reason than to make their life a little better, I've succeeded for that day. The "Golden Rule" of treating others how I hope to be treated is a universal principle, and how I choose to apply that rule in all aspects of my life ultimately determines my success and happiness.
