— About

Building things that matter. Saying what others won't.

I've spent over a decade as an enterprise sales executive at Salesforce — closing and implementing MuleSoft and Informatica across the most complex data infrastructure deals in North America. I've sat in more C-suite rooms than I can count, and the same thing keeps appearing: organizations making critical decisions on systems that are quietly lying to them.

That pattern is what I built Axiom to fix. And it's what I create content about — because most people in my position stay quiet about what they actually see.

Outside of work I'm a competitive Ironman triathlete, a husband, and a father to young kids. The "What I Want My Kids to Know" series is a legacy project — videos their actual dad is making for them about life, character, and business. I hope I'm around to show them in person. But just in case.

Founder

"There are Wolves and Shepherds in every organization. The Shepherds own the room — not because they try. Simply because it's impossible that they don't. Don't let the world beat that out of you."

— How I Think
Agency over safety Long-term ownership beats short-term security. Always. The RSU is comfortable. Building something is meaningful.
Say what others won't The most valuable thing I can offer is an honest read — on your data infrastructure, on your org, on the deal. Most people in my position have been trained out of that. I haven't been.
No Limits The athletic mindset and the founder mindset are the same thing. You do the work when nobody's watching. You push past the place where it gets comfortable. You find out what you're actually made of.
Character is the only currency that compounds Everything else depreciates. The Wolves always think they're winning. They're not.
— Content

Three tracks. One voice.

I create video-first content on LinkedIn and YouTube. No scripts, no production theater. Just a practitioner who's seen too much to stay quiet.

Track 01 — Business

The Executive Lens

What I see inside enterprise organizations that nobody else will say out loud. Revenue Truth. AI infrastructure reality. The gap between what systems report and what's actually happening.

Watch on LinkedIn
Track 02 — Leadership

Wolves & Shepherds

Character. How to carry yourself in corporate environments designed to compromise you. What real leadership looks like versus the performance of it. How to spot both in 30 seconds.

Track 03 — Legacy

What I Want My Kids to Know

Videos their actual dad is making for them. Business, character, money, hard lessons, what integrity costs and why it's worth it. A library for my kids — and anyone else who needs to hear it.
