Current work
A LOT OF PEOPLE MADE SACRIFICES SO I COULD BE HERE TODAY.
LUBY’S RESTAURANT CORPORATION
I am the president of Luby’s one of the most iconic brands in the Texas restaurant market.
WORKPLATE
I am the co-founder of WorkPlate, a private incubator to explore new ideas, allow them to develop and hopefully grow into their own identity. Digital Handshake grew out of this space.
DIGITAL HANDSHAKE
I co-founded Digital Handshake in 2020. Personal websites designed to introduce WHO you are - not just WHAT you do. (You are reading mine.)
CHARMING STUDIOS
I am a partner in Charming Studios. We produce photo and video content that speaks authentically.
HELIOS VISIONS
I am the co-founder of Helios Visions, an aerial data collection company based in the Fulton Market District of Chicago.
MY PROFESSIONAL BIO…
“If you’ve eaten on an airplane, at Starbucks, at your grocery deli or perhaps Costco, you may have sampled my work.”
I have two plus decades of entrepreneurial experience as a business owner and senior-level executive in management, business development, finance and operations.
I‘ve worked with prolific entrepreneurs. By pairing strategic thinking with a hands-on approach I have helped to rapidly grow businesses and developed many new products and services.
…A few of the lessons my mom tried to teach me. You see, I think that parents often times teach their kids the lessons they need to learn, not necessarily the lessons they want to learn.
