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.

Starting my writing with a little self-talk on the golf course and then getting into “real life” because all of us golfers know golf shows us where we’re really at mentally…
When I was sitting in the middle of the fairway on Thursday afternoon in Scottsdale I had a reflection moment coming from my training with Rex:
It’s important to remember and give yourself credit for your natural talent and the hard work you’ve done to hone your craft. It’s important for me to enjoy the beauty of my hard work but most importantly my god given abilities.

Be Direct, Be Patient, But Be Persistent!
Be direct, be patient, but be persistent.
That’s what comes to mind when I think of this past week.
For the first time in a few weeks I received some “tangible” news from the big auto manufacturer we’ve been dealing with.
