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.

Learnings from the Milwaukee Brewers – World Series Champions!

Started the week in Florida with my dad with no thought of going to the World Series and ended up taking my long time friend Kyle to game four. Kyle got three hours of sleep in two days and I came off a shitload of “people time” so a 12-inning loss was the last thing I wanted. With that said, taking Kyle to that game was something I’ll never forget.

Strike Like Saint Mike

First of all, I’m super appreciative of the week I just had. I built a LOT of character for sure and it was painful. I struggled. I felt a lot of different emotions this week. I felt highs when I was in Cleveland and hiring our next salesman and lows as I battled for peace, good decisions, and understanding. I played my favorite tournament of the year, the Highland Swing, with my buddy Matt Weber.
