Born and raised in Wichita, Kansas, I spent nearly two decades in Lawrence, where I built a career as a chef, hosted a television cooking show, and discovered my passion for dot-connecting (bringing people together in meaningful ways).

Nearly 20 years ago, I returned to Wichita to reconnect with friends, family, and my community, continuing my mission to make a difference through relationships, collaboration, and purpose-driven connections.

I connect people to opportunities that grow businesses, build partnerships, and create lasting value. Whether it’s the right collaborator, investor, or nonprofit partner, I believe the right connection can change everything. Over the years, I’ve helped entrepreneurs, companies, and organizations align their missions and turn isolated efforts into strategic, aligned partnerships.

Outside of work, I enjoy reading, writing, and telling a good story. Most importantly, I follow my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. My beautiful wife, Natashia, and I attend First Evangelical Free Church on North Woodlawn in Wichita. I serve on the area board of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, and I am also proud to support youth athletics through the Wichita Warriors Booster Board and Fundraising Committee.
