Over the past 15 years, I have been obsessed with helping other entrepreneurs build great organizations from the inside out. Over the course of my career, I helped transform an analog business into a fast growing technology company and eventually led that company through a successful exit, launched a venture capital firm, and invested in dozens of early stage companies.

 

While a few of these companies experienced great exits, many failed to achieve their potential. Like all entrepreneurs and investors, it was not my successes, but rather my failures from which I have learned the most. Typically, these failures often boiled down to three common issues: blurry long-term vision, poor execution, and/or unhealthy team dynamics.

​

I was first introduced to the book Traction and EOS as a graduate student, but the timing was not right and, though intrigued, the message did not resonate with me and I did not embrace it. Therefore, my one regret is that I spent the chapter of my career building a company and supporting dozens of others without the Entrepreneurial Operating System. 

​

I was later reintroduced to EOS and the timing was perfect. My firm sought EOS and Jay Tankersley to help us clarify our vision and build a healthy team.  From that experience, I joined Jay and his team at Meritage.

​

As a proud member of the Meritage family, I get to live my true passion of helping entrepreneurs build remarkable organizations while living better lives.
