More Than Business
Husband. Father. Kidney Donor. Ultrarunner. Missionary.
From Humble Beginnings
Growing up poor with a single mom, I worked in a jail to pay for business school. I never had a "real job" and instead jumped straight into entrepreneurship. My first venture was a chain of retail stores I launched at 23 while still in college. Two years later, I sold it and never looked back.
"I absolutely freaking love what I do. Business is my hobby, profession, and passion—it doesn't feel like work."
From jail jobs to 8-figure exits—every step shaped who I am today.
Family First
My wife and I have been married for 16 years, and we have four amazing kids aged 8-14. We live on 3 acres in DFW, where we host legendary BBQ nights. Family is my anchor, and everything I do is for them.
In 2015, my daughter received a double-lung transplant, which inspired my wife and me to donate our kidneys to strangers. I’m deeply passionate about altruistic kidney donation and encourage others to consider it.

Building Businesses That Matter
I’ve started over 75 companies across industries, from a concierge car-buying service to an iPhone screen remanufacturer. My current portfolio includes 7 active businesses generating tens of millions annually.
I’m particularly proud of Texas Snax, the world’s largest unofficial Buc-ee’s reseller, and Cofounders.com, a startup incubator with a <1% acceptance rate.
From cold-calling to scaling businesses, I’ve learned that hustle and heart go hand in hand.
