About

I’m here to help good people do great things. I recruit top talent for data centers & mission critical infrastructure (clients and candidates in all 50 U.S. states). I interview humble, high-performing leaders on Permission to Shine podcast — sharing how great people think, lead, and live. (60+ episodes). And when I meet founders who operate with character and ambition, I support them early through 12bar VC. Previously led Medtronic’s AI colon-cancer platform across 17 states as the youngest sales manager in company history. I take my life motto of doing good and having fun, very seriously. Let’s chat if you feel the same way.
