About Me
Raised in a family of entrepreneurs, small businesses are what I have known my entire life. After graduating from St. Louis University with a business degree concentrating in Finance and Information Systems, I began work for a family-owned mortgage company.
From there I spent more than a decade at a Financial Technology firm, at which I led a team of 30 exceptional professionals as we innovated in a wide array of lending verticals.
I then transitioned into e-commerce, where I found a passion for the direct-to-consumer space. I have a love for enthusiast businesses; brands with passionate customers.
During this career, I have consistently found time to apply my development skills with other small businesses. Lending my expertise to businesses between 5 and 50 employees has fueled my interest owning my own.
