I install, upgrade and optimize business operating systems for CxOs (CEOs, CMOs, COOs...) as a Scalable™ Business Advisor, and I am the only one in network with DoD experience as well as the ability to handle sensitive project work on demand. My pattern recognition skill set is tapped to help with tech scouting in tandem with helping scale teams that leverage the ScalableOS framework.

A Business Operating System is a single source of truth that documents what a company does, how it does it, and the progress it is making toward its stated goals and objectives.

The difference between growth and scale is that during your growth phase you are hiring against your weaknesses and plugging holes in your business. When you are scaling your business you are focused on replicating your strengths by hiring even better people.

I help teams grow beyond a hundred team members under management and prepare them to reach 8 and 9 figures of revenue growth for their teams. I work directly with the Scalable company, founded by luminaries like Ryan Deiss, Richard Lindner, and Marcus Murphy. These are all mentors I have followed for years, and their team has certified me as one of their trusted advisors specifically to help companies involved in the Public Sector, including teams who work with DoD.

I train generalists at the top level to lift up and hire more specialists within their organizations.

I have an ethics waiver in place that enables me to work and consult on DoD topics of a specific nature, including weapons, materials science, firearms, contested logistics, and software related to community management, community events, and real estate (tangential to logistics).

Campaigned as the first pro-crypto / pro-DAO /#Web3 candidate for Illinois State Representative, advocating for open-source software and open data standards that empower our citizens to retain ownership of their data while advocating for enhanced data sharing and security among industry / private sector contractors.

My goal was to leverage technology to help our neighbors and fellow citizens be more connected to local and state government, allowing their voice to be heard all year round rather than just at campaign time.
