I lead Division Street Ventures with a simple focus: buy strong community brands, make them better, and connect them into something greater than the sum of their parts while preserving each brand’s local identity. I am a veteran of the U.S. Navy, where I served as a Naval Intelligence Officer with multiple deployments in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. In business, I was part of the Fanatics leadership team during a high growth period and the eventual sale of the company, and I held global leadership roles at Nike and Converse. I have worked in private equity held portfolio companies and know what it takes on both the buy side and the sell side to succeed. My center of gravity is execution and teamwork. I earned my degree from the University of Houston and completed the Executive Management Program, Class 134, at the UCLA Anderson School of Business. I am an Ironman finisher with multiple half Ironman races, and I live in the Nashville, TN area. If you are exploring succession or growth, I am here for a straightforward, transparent conversation.
