FOUNDER & CEO OF FOUNTAIN FORWARD - FOUNDER #SAMEHERE C-SUITE - CO-FOUNDER OF BOAT COUNT INVESTMENTS
I was born in Wisconsin, live in Houston and I love to build, invest in, and market small businesses! My passion is to share stories about business, mental health, friends, and personal development. I didn’t learn in a traditional manner, so I’m here documenting “lived experiences” to help you on your personal journey regardless of how you learn. Whether it’s helping you take calculated risks, avoiding unnecessary failure, or merely helping you think through your current situation, I love seeing people make the most pragmatic decision!
I am proud to lead a team of motivated individuals at Fountain Forward since 2011.

The Ups and Downs of August
I can definitely say that I had an abnormal amount of highs and lows this week. I would say in general, it felt very progressive and eye opening in some ways.
First and foremost, it was an incredibly busy week not just with Fountain Forward, but I have been involved as an advisor in a few other companies for a while now and this past week I had to dive into one of those companies to help get things back on track.
This particular company has a tremendous amount of opportunity, but we’re in a pretty ugly spot due to poor leadership. With that said there’s still a ton of upside and I want to be a part of the solution.

Bogota Beats, Business Breakthroughs & Brief Moments
Spent the week in Bogota with some of our FF team.
My objective, for at least the last two trips, could be summed up simply.
Where is Fountain Forward with our technology/ops, where do we plan on going in the next quarter, and what does 12-24 months look like.
