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.
