Some of them are business hats: entrepreneur, fractional CFO, and occasional dreamer of what could be. Some of them are more rugged: hunter, fisherman, cook, and man of faith. If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that life has a funny way of mixing the serious with the absurd, the joy with the hardship, and the miracles with the mundane.

I’ve built businesses, lost businesses, and picked up the pieces afterward. I’ve found solace in a good cup of coffee and forgiveness in the woods. I’ve stumbled over my own mistakes more times than I can count, and each time I’ve been picked back up by the grace of God, the love of my family, and the belief that maybe – just maybe – the next step is going to lead somewhere beautiful.

Faith isn’t just a Sunday thing for me. It’s the compass I try to follow every day, though sometimes the road is winding and steep. I’m deeply Catholic, finding strength in the sacraments, inspiration from the saints, and comfort in the community. When I’m not at work, you’ll find me spending time with my family, outdoors, or scribbling thoughts that might turn into devotionals, business ideas, or just something to help me make sense of it all.

And that’s me, more or less – a guy who’s still learning, still growing, and still laughing at the wild, wonderful journey of it all. Welcome to my corner of the world.

What I Do

With two decades of experience spanning industries like beverage manufacturing, distribution, and technology, I’ve learned a thing or two about what makes businesses thrive. I specialize in giving companies the financial tools they need to grow sustainably and profitably.

My work is all about rolling up my sleeves and getting in the trenches with my clients. Whether it’s cash flow management, tax strategy, scaling operations, or just untangling a tricky process, I’m there to help tackle the tough stuff. I take a hands-on approach to each client’s financial picture—because every business is different—and work to empower them to make decisions that lead to long-term success.

Work I’m Proud Of

The work I’m most proud of isn’t just about the businesses I’ve built; it’s about the heart and soul behind them. I’ve had the privilege of building Louisiana’s first and largest specialty coffee business, as well as founding the state’s only craft beer and spirit distributor from the ground up. But what I’m truly proud of goes beyond the products or the awards. It’s the journey—the grit, the resilience, the faith that deepened through the challenges, and the community that grew alongside the work.

I’m proud of the times I got knocked down and stood back up, relying on my faith, my family, and a belief that the next chapter could be even better. Whether it’s creating devotionals that help others find God in the everyday, or thinking of new ways to foster community, my proudest work is the kind that brings people together, encourages growth, and maybe, just maybe, makes this journey a little richer for all of us.
