About

Most entrepreneurs are focused on building successful businesses. Some are sensing that God may be inviting them into something more. I work with business leaders who believe their success is not the finish line—but the platform God intends to use to transform the city they live in. Scripture reminds us to pray for the peace and prosperity of the city, because its welfare will determine our own (Jeremiah 29:7). I’m convinced that for many leaders, this isn’t just a verse to pray—it’s an assignment to steward. I describe this calling as becoming a Kingdom Business Builder: a leader who sees business as the means, partnerships as the strategy, and cities as the mission field. This work often lives at the intersection of business development, nonprofit collaboration, and cultural influence—where profit serves purpose, and leadership serves the common good. My journey spans entrepreneurship, executive leadership, and ministry across three continents. I’ve built and led businesses, partnered with nonprofits and churches, and worked alongside leaders who care deeply about alignment, stewardship, and lasting impact. These experiences have shaped a simple conviction: business is not separate from ministry—it is one of its most powerful expressions. Through Business Unlimited, I equip and walk with leaders who are discerning: • Whether they carry a city-level assignment • What role their business plays in that assignment • How to partner wisely for sustainable, generational impact 📅 Every first Monday of the month, I host a live, open Zoom conversation for business leaders exploring what it looks like to steward their business for the good of their city. Registration link in the "Featured" section. If this resonates, you’re likely already hearing the invitation. Let’s discern it together.
