The advisor
who's been
in the room.

I didn't follow the conventional path. I built one.

It started in journalism, where I learned to find the story beneath the noise. That instinct carried me into enterprise sales at AT&T and then to Grainger, where I spent nearly a decade managing complex commercial accounts and building executive relationships across multiple industries. Every engagement taught me the same lesson: relationships are not a soft skill. They are the strategy.

From there, I joined Medtronic as a Procedure Development Specialist and found myself inside operating rooms. I worked in the navigational bronchoscopy space alongside pulmonologists, helping physicians build proficiency and efficiency with the device so they could perform procedures with greater confidence and precision. Those procedures existed for one purpose: to determine whether nodules found in the lung were cancerous. That environment is unforgiving. A physician's call, made in real time, shapes what happens to a patient next. It demands poise, precision, and the kind of focus that does not waver when the pressure is highest. That experience never leaves you.

Medtronic recognized what I was building in the field and promoted me to Senior Product Manager, where I led downstream U.S. marketing for the same navigational bronchoscopy platform I had been supporting in operating rooms. I understood the clinical realities, the physician relationships, and the competitive landscape in a way most marketers never could. That perspective shaped how we positioned the product, how we trained the sales force, and how we won.

Then I bet on myself. I founded Infinity Supply Group, a Kansas City residential real estate development company, and built it entirely without a roadmap. I cultivated relationships with developers, contractors, private equity firms, and institutional lenders, and earned those relationships the hard way, deal by deal. One of those deals earned formal recognition from a Kansas City lending institution as the most profitable of the year. The business grew 10X year over year.

Three industries, each demanding something different, and the same instincts carrying through all of them: see the opportunity clearly, build the right relationships around it, and see it through.

I work with leaders who need someone who has genuinely done the work, not studied it.
