I build things that open doors.
I started my first company with $300 at my kitchen table and grew it into a multi-million-dollar venture-backed marketplace, eventually exiting after scaling nationally. I’ve raised capital, built teams, navigated boards, made hard calls, and learned what it really takes to build something from nothing.
But titles and valuations are not the headline.
What drives me is access.
Access to capital.
Access to mentorship.
Access to opportunity for founders who don’t come from traditional networks.
Today, I’m building again. I’m focused on AI, product thinking, and creating infrastructure that helps founders move from idea to impact with more clarity and less gatekeeping. I believe the future of entrepreneurship will be more transparent, more data-driven, and more inclusive.
I also serve as Chair of the Indigenous Prosperity Foundation, where we are creating real pathways for the next generation of Indigenous entrepreneurs through programs like Indigenous Launchpad in partnership with DMZ.
I speak globally on entrepreneurship, leadership, and building durable companies. I mentor founders and CEOs navigating growth, fundraising, and the realities of scaling.
Entrepreneurship is not hype. It is discipline, resilience, and truth.
If you are building something meaningful, we will get along.
