Who I Am
Built to Figure Things Out
I'm a founder, operator, and builder based in Chicago. I started my first company at 18, but it wasn't till I was 22 that I scaled a business past $200K in revenue. I learned more in those 18 months than I ever could have in a classroom, not because I had the playbook, but because I had to write it.
At Nextera Consulting, I'm building it again, this time with AI at the core. I design custom automation pipelines, rebuild client business infrastructure, and act as a fractional operator for growth-stage companies. I've reduced client costs by 66%, cut delivery cycles by 30%, and run full B2B sales cycles from cold outreach to close.
I'm a Finance & Entrepreneurship double major from Marquette and an Internship alum of gener8tor, one of the country's top ranked startup accelerators. I've screened 1,000+ companies and supported 10+ portfolio companies with analysis and investor preparation.
I work with founders and operators who need leverage, ops automation, revenue systems, AI pipelines, or fractional firepower wherever the biggest problems live. I bring founder speed, wide domain range, and a genuine obsession with building systems that actually work.
