So, who is this dude?

1992

Born in a hospital just outside of San Francisco. This is the moment I realized I’d be a Giants and 49ers fan for life.

LOYAL

2001

Moved to Oregon where I learned how to surf, skimboard, dig for razor clams, shuck oysters, clean Dungeness crab, mow lawns, and watch The Goonies whenever it rained.

CONTINUOUS LEARNER

2009

Attended high school in Portland where I made the freshman varsity lacrosse team (I was 5’2 and maybe 115 pounds soaking wet). Pretty cool, right? Well, I never played that year, but rooted harder for our team on the sidelines than the fans did from the bleachers.

TEAM PLAYER

2011

Started a clothing company in Portland. Sold out of our shirts almost immediately. Thought I was rich and retired. Realized a few days later that $200 only goes so far. Started various jobs in the restaurant industry (busboy, barback, server), worked on a few golf courses (greenskeeping), landscaping, construction, youth sports coaching, K-9 training…the list goes on.

LEARNS FROM MISTAKES

2014

Attended the University of Arizona in Tucson. Quickly realized how lucrative a pool cleaning business could be.

IDEA GUY

2015

Met Dustin Hoffman at a crosswalk in Los Angeles. Didn’t know what to say so I asked for directions to Starbucks (it was directly in front of us). His directions did not disappoint.

QUICK ON MY FEET

2016

Transferred to Montana State University in Bozeman. Learned how to fly fish, ride horses, wrangle cattle, polish cowboy boots, stack bails of hay, and shovel snow.

ISN’T AFRAID TO GET DIRTY

Summer of 2017

Took a summer internship at Michael Patrick Partners as a marketing coordinator. Learned the ins and outs of brand development.

STARTED YOUNG

2018

Started an app and brand development firm with three friends. We had no idea what we were doing, but we were determined to figure it out. Within two short months, we had three clients (one of them was someone’s Dad).

ENTREPRENEURIAL MINDSET

Summer of 2018

Worked at a high-end men’s retail shop in Bozeman. Put my resume on Craigslist looking for “an adventure.” Two weeks later, a gal walked into our shop asking for me by name. We talked for 20 minutes and was offered a job as an Event Coordinator for National Geographic. Took care of 175+ outdoor extraordinaires while they filmed Yellowstone Live on the Nat Geo Network.

RISK TAKER

2019

Took a 2-month internship at a digital advertising agency in Denver. Got offered a full-time position and signed immediately. Worked as an Amazon Coordinator overseeing accounts like A2 Milk, Spinning, Milani, Honey Bunchies, and a whole lot more.

VERSATILE

2020

Wanted to learn how to pick up the phone and dial. Took a job as a headhunter in Denver staffing industrial water/wastewater projects all across the United States.

ISN’T AFRAID TO PICK UP THE PHONE

END OF 2020

Packed my bags and moved to Florida. The ocean was calling my name.

LOVES THE WATER

MIDDLE OF 2021

Got a call from Michael Patrick Partners (my previous employer) that they needed someone to handle sales and business development. I took the job.

KNOWS WHAT HE WANTS

2022

Wanted to spend time underneath the surface of the ocean. Became an advanced rescue certified scuba diver.

CAN PASS TESTS

2022—TWO MONTHS LATER

Saved my best friend's life from drowning. See, I knew that rescue certification would come in handy.

SAVES LIVES

2023

Picked up the largest account Michael Patrick Partners had seen in five years. Drinks were on me that night.

GO-GETTER

2024—

This could be the start of something extraordinary.
