Jacksonville, FL
My friends call me an entrepreneur, but most labels I use to describe myself become untrue after enough time. I’m just following the fun 😎
I’m currently building StampFans. I’m an advisor for Freiling Agency. I contribute to various other publishing and startup projects. My essays on theology, culture, and politics are occasionally published around the web.
Previously, I solo-founded (’16) then sold (’22) PeopleFish, a market research firm for startups. We did millions in revenue and our clients included SpaceX, Axios, VSCO, P&G, Getaround, Stanford, MIT, and the US State Department. From 2022–23, I was Director at QuestionPro.
