Field notes of a random citizen
Kansas City roots. Passport full. Mind on ideas.
The short version
Entrepreneur, consultant, guitar player (hardly), golfer, new dad. since April 2019 — and still bleeding red, white and blue. Small talk bores me — ideas don't.
K-State Entrepreneurship grad, EMBA from Iceland, a few startups in the wild. I help companies grow across borders — international business development and sales.
Left the States in April 2019 and haven't stopped since. Australia to Scotland, Iceland to Bali. Home is portable; curiosity is the luggage.
Scotch neat. Guitar in the corner. A good conversation that drifts from events into ideas and never comes back.
Married to the best teammate I know. Recently promoted to Dad. Faith keeps the compass pointing true.

Arrived loud, hungry, and already a Chiefs fan.
in no particular order — that's not how it happened either
Bled red, white and blue from day one.
Ate my body weight in BBQ.
Learned three chords. Still on three chords.
Went to K-State. Learned how businesses break.
Bought a one-way ticket. Kept extending it.
Did an EMBA in Iceland. Cold school, warm people.
And now… today
A little bit of this, a little bit of that.
