I build companies
Operator and builder. Traveler. Food bank advocate. Bellevue, Washington.
Over the past twenty years I've scaled two accounting start-ups from essentially zero to more than $100M in annual revenue each — building the systems, teams, and infrastructure that turn an early-stage business into one that holds together at scale.
Most recently I served as Chief Executive Officer of 1-800Accountant, the nation's largest virtual accounting firm for small businesses, from 2021 through 2025. I ran full P&L across a distributed organization of more than 600 people, drove revenue growth above 20% for four consecutive years while expanding margins, and moved the business off referral-partner dependency onto an AI-powered platform.
