If I’m not drinking coffee, I’m wearing it. I’m based in Texas, but spend most of my time wherever the work takes me. Over the past ten years I’ve helped startups, college career networks, and Fortune 500 companies — through strategy, adjusting, visual identity, and editorial voice.

Beyond my professional career, I’ve become increasingly passionate about turning the things I genuinely enjoy into entrepreneurial ventures. As an avid sports enthusiast, I discovered a newfound love for collecting and selling sports cards. What began as a hobby quickly grew into something much more, and I’m proud to have built both of my eBay stores into top-performing seller accounts.

But sports cards aren’t the only passion that has taken root. Over time, my love for plants, gardening, and horticulture has grown into a venture of its own. From cacti and succulents to rare and fascinating varieties like Ghost Orchids, I’ve developed a genuine appreciation for discovering, cultivating, propagating, and selling unique plants.

For me, these ventures are about more than simply selling a product. I love the entire process—the research, the hunt for something special, learning the market, cultivating and caring for what I find, connecting with other enthusiasts, and ultimately turning a personal passion into something others can enjoy as well.

Whether I’m searching for the next great sports card or adding a rare plant to my collection, I’ve learned that some of the most rewarding business ventures begin with genuine curiosity, a little obsession, and a passion worth pursuing.

I independently manage enterprise projects from concept through execution, technology teams, operations, streamline processes, and enhance both employee and customer experiences.Serving as a Project Manager, Business Owner and prior Complex Total Loss Claims Specialist with operational subject matter expert and advanced expertise in complex policy interpretation, state-specific regulations, regulatory compliance, high-exposure claim resolution, de-escalation strategies, and complex policy application.

Sports Cards

From legendary icons like Wayne Gretzky and Mike Trout to rising stars like Caitlin Clark—and an ever-growing roster of football standouts—my passion for sports cards spans generations, leagues, and collections. What began as an appreciation for the hobby has evolved into a genuine passion for sourcing, collecting, and selling cards, and I’m always on the hunt for the next great find

Plants

From beginning to end, one of life’s greatest gifts is life itself—and there’s something incredibly rewarding about watching it grow. Finding, propagating, cultivating, and cloning plants has transformed gardening into far more than a hobby for me; it has become a passion and an entrepreneurial pursuit. From planting the first seed to carefully packaging and shipping a thriving plant to its new home, every step of the process brings something new. As my plants continue to grow, so does my knowledge, my business, and my passion for turning something I love into something I can share with others. I work specifically with one vendor who finds the pulse of every plant. The beat to the music that he creates. The heart to every interaction he makes.

Project Management

Project management is more than organizing tasks and meeting deadlines—it’s about understanding the bigger picture and creating a clear, strategic path from vision to execution.

I take pride in immersing myself in every project I manage, first developing a strong understanding of its purpose, objectives, stakeholders, challenges, and desired outcomes. From there, I look for opportunities to streamline processes, improve efficiency, strengthen communication, and create solutions that support both immediate goals and long-term growth.

As an independent project manager, I approach every organization I work with as an extension of its brand. My goal is not simply to complete a project, but to understand what the brand represents, embody those values throughout my work, and help cultivate its continued growth. I believe successful project management requires a balance of strategy, organization, adaptability, collaboration, and execution—all while keeping the larger business objective in focus.

Whether I’m optimizing an existing process, coordinating cross-functional initiatives, identifying operational improvements, or transforming an idea into an actionable plan, I strive to leave every project and organization stronger than I found it.

Today, I wear many hats—and I’ve learned that I thrive that way. Whether I’m nurturing the growth of a seed, building a successful e-commerce venture, or strategically executing a project from concept to completion, I’ve found myself exactly where I’m meant to be: creating, building, learning, and growing.

Growth is the common thread behind everything I do. Personally and professionally, I am driven by the pursuit of progress. I actively seek challenges that push me beyond what I already know, opportunities that require me to develop new skills, and experiences that offer lessons I can carry into the next venture.

I also approach work a little differently. I take my personal and professional brand seriously because, to me, my work represents more than what I accomplish—it represents who I am, what I value, and the standard I choose to uphold. Whether I’m working independently or representing another organization, I bring that same sense of ownership, integrity, curiosity, and purpose to what I do.

I’m rarely satisfied with simply knowing what I already know. I want to understand more, build better, work smarter, and discover what I’m capable of next. I’m always looking for the next opportunity to challenge myself, step into an unfamiliar space, develop a new skill, or transform an idea into something tangible.

Let’s go somewhere

Every project starts with the same question: what do you want people to feel when they encounter your brand for the first time? The answer shapes everything that follows.

And woven throughout every project I pursue, every card I discover, and every plant I find is another passion that has profoundly shaped my life: travel. For me, traveling is far more than seeing new places—it is a way of life. It fuels my curiosity, broadens my perspective, and continuously inspires me to explore what exists beyond the familiar. Travel nurtures my sense of adventure, introduces me to new people, cultures, ideas, and possibilities, and reminds me that there is always more to discover. It is where I find inspiration, where I feel most alive, and often where the spark for my next idea begins. If growth is the foundation of everything I do, travel is the fuel that keeps me moving forward.
