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.

Doc Said, “Even Keel”
This week started with an important meeting for Fountain Forward. We discussed the future of the company, our current positioning in the market, and just how fast we want to invest to build technology. There’s a lot at stake in the automotive space right now and I’m pretty darn confident that we have the right team to gain a lot of market share but we have to move quickly.
That’s new for us… Seeing a vision where we need to build our own technology quickly. As I’ve said before, I have no background in technology but I’m confident in my progress over the last few months and most importantly the team we’ve built.
I’m excited for this journey!

Searching for Love
My mind was full of thunderstorms this week. So much so that I decided to remove myself from any situation in which I thought I would be unable to be “centered.”
Do I dislike having to do that? Sure, but it was the right decision. I kept myself in isolation or around people that completely understood where I was at mentally.
That proved to be very effective. I played more golf this week than I have in months, I ate well, and I had solid workouts.
