what has he accomplished?
Here are a few of my achievements with a bit more breadth.
product innovation
I'm an improving innovator. Seeing challenges as the best opportunity to create success. According to Pew Research(tm), I'm a Strategist. This means I see the optimal path through problems as a natural talent. I've used this strength to innovate new products, new GTM strategies, launch brands, & start companies.
service innovation / gtm strategy
My work does not end with 'thinking' up the ideas. Implementing them with teams and bringing back early adoption results is a passion. My incentive & drive come from a deep desire to know if I've actually solved the problem. I derive a great amount of pleasure out of being able to see the forest for the trees.
built a u2 tribute band
Partnering with an old friend, we built a U2 Tribute Band from the ground up in Kansas City. Taking an unknown act to the largest shows & quickly cracking the high-dollar compensation in our first year. Now in our 3rd year, we're continuing to see the growth and fan apppeciation.
started a home services business
I found a problem in Home Services & started a company to solve it - bypassing a franchise, or corporate buy-in. Family owned & operated, self-funded & successful! We're opening operations for our own Field Service Management software called "WORKFORCE" and our own digital marketing brand called Heartland Digital.
