About

I help founders grow the business and keep the life.

For fifteen years I built and scaled companies — and learned the hard way that more hustle is rarely the answer. Today I coach founders and leaders to grow with clarity, focus, and momentum.

After selling my second company, founders kept asking the same question: how do you grow without it taking over your life? The answer became a system — The Momentum Method — and then a book, a coaching practice, and a community of operators who'd rather build something durable than burn bright and flame out.

I work with a small number of founders each year through group and private coaching, speak to leadership teams and conferences, and write a weekly note read by more than 2,000 founders. The throughline is always the same: calm, compounding growth beats frantic effort.
