Founder of Highland Private Office and Naveron AI. Built Celltronix from zero to $25M revenue and 120 employees, sold it, and now invest in operators who execute.
I've spent decades in the trenches, founding companies, learning hard lessons, winning big, and doing it all over again. From running an award-winning T-Mobile authorized retailer 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.
