Who We Are

Founder

I am passionate about helping businesses scale in sustainable ways and working with mission-driven leaders. Prior to Branchview, I served as the CFO of a PE-backed professional services rollup, where I scaled teams, processes, and technology to enable 4x growth over three years. I've also spent time as a financial leader in M&A, CPG, retail, and higher-ed.

A lifelong Gopher, I earned both my MBA and bachelor's in finance from the University of Minnesota.

When not working, you'll find me attempting to keep up with my wife and five-year-old, unsuccessfully training my dog, and playing guitar and golf with varying degrees of success.

Founder

I’m passionate about building high-performing teams and empowering them to scale great businesses. My focus is unlocking sustainable, profitable growth by  developing strong leaders, streamlining operations, and ensuring teams are properly supported. I've served as CFO and financial leader across PE and venture-backed companies for the past 10 years, helping grow and sell businesses across consumer products, e-commerce, and tech-enabled services. 

I have an MBA from the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University, where I was an Austin Scholar.

When I'm not in the office, I'm with family and friends in the mountains of Colorado exploring, fishing, and nervously searching for the closest charging station.

I have a decade of experience advising ambitious founders and fast-growing companies through the highs (and occasional chaos) of early-stage scaling. As an entrepreneur at heart and a strategist by trade, I have helped shape ventures from whiteboard ideas to multi-million-dollar operations—guiding everything from entity formation and capital structuring to risk mitigation and investor negotiations. Before joining Branchview, I spent almost ten years in private legal practice, co-founding a boutique firm.

I earned my law degree from the University of Nebraska College of Law, concentrating on business transactions and labor and employment law.

When I am not immersed in term sheets or scaling roadmaps, you’ll likely find me on a golf course (ambitiously preparing for his someday debut on the Champions Tour) or exploring new destinations with my wife, Stacy.
