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.

Humbled by Grace
Last week was a lot of fun with some heavy moments mixed in.
It was a bunch of stuff in Houston followed by meeting my cousin and business partner Nick in Vegas and also our client. It was a fast paced (with some pool time) weekend with a little work and a birthday celebration for Elizabeth.
Now, the part about writing that is most humbling… Writing about some mistakes that were made.
Curious Costa Rica
This might have been the biggest week of learning I’ve had in the last few years.
I’m serious, this shit was really something.
I went on a trip this week with Elizabeth and a group of 16 people. This is not something I would normally be open to doing as I mentioned previously.
