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.

Deep Thinking in Silence

It was a wonderful end to our Italy trip this past week. We finished up in Florence and then headed to our major wine destination, Montalcino, to try out the best Brunello in the world. I must say it is very interesting to learn so much about wine and look at how my taste buds were five years ago versus now. There are some incredible Brunellos that I have officially fallen in love with, and I am excited to say I came back with a lot of wine.

David vs Goliath

I had a lot of fun this week with a lot of exploring. First of all, it was Amalfi, then Florence, and finalizing the week in Montalcino. It was special.
