I build companies.
I scale what works.

Serial entrepreneur with a proven exit. I founded Celltronix from zero to $25M revenue and 120 employees — then sold it. Now I advise founders, build new ventures, and invest in businesses where I can add real operator value.

About

A track record built on execution, not just ideas.

I've spent decades in the trenches — founding companies, learning hard lessons, winning big, and doing it all over again. From running a consumer electronics retail chain to building private office infrastructure and exploring the frontier of AI, I bring real operator experience to everything I touch.

Today I run Highland Private Office, a strategic business consulting firm based in Winter Park, and Naveron AI, where I help businesses implement artificial intelligence to transform their operations. I work with founders and small business owners who want to grow smarter — not just harder.

How I work with founders & businesses.

Whether you need strategic advice, a hands-on partner, or someone who understands both the human side of business and where technology is headed — I've been there.

⚡
Business Consulting

Practical, no-nonsense advice for small business owners who want to grow, fix problems, or make smarter decisions. I've built real companies — I don't just theorize.

  • Operations & process improvement
  • Growth strategy & execution
  • Revenue & monetization review
  • Team structure & leadership
🤖
AI Consulting

I help businesses understand, adopt, and profit from AI — without the hype or confusion. From identifying the right tools to deploying actual workflows, I bring a founder's lens to AI strategy.

  • AI readiness assessment
  • Tool selection & integration
  • Automation workflow design
  • AI-first business model advisory
💼
Strategic Partnerships

For the right opportunities, I engage as a fractional advisor, investor, or operating partner. If you're building something real, let's have a conversation.

  • Fractional C-suite advisory
  • Equity-based engagement
  • Business investment (minority)
  • Co-founder exploration
Investing

I back founders who execute.

I invest in small businesses and early-stage ventures where my experience as an operator adds real value beyond capital. I'm not a passive investor — when I back something, I'm in it.

01
Real Businesses Revenue-generating or clear path to profitability. No pure speculation.
02
Operator-Founders I back people who do the work, not just pitch the idea.
03
AI-Adjacent Opportunities Businesses where applied AI creates an unfair competitive advantage.
04
Florida & Remote-First Strong preference for Florida-based companies or location-agnostic models.
