I love building small businesses. I went to law school and business school, but I couldn't get excited about going to work for a big consulting or law firm. Small business growth is what I love. I get to do that every day at Infusionsoft... helping OUR business grow by helping tens of thousands of entrepreneurs grow their businesses using our marketing and sales software.

I've created and managed blogs, affiliate programs, referral programs, influencers, cold email
outreach and social media. I have a deep passion for CRO, A/B testing and UI/UX. I'm a humble self-starter, quick learner.

I am passionate about building and leading teams of talented people who are interested in changing the world using technology and media. I am focused on building sustainable business models to support journalism.
I believe that highly collaborative teams of people with diverse skills and perspectives can solve almost anything.
When I'm not working, I love playing ice hockey in a very amateur men's league, watching the New York Rangers, reading and watching science fiction, taking long walks in the woods with my dogs, observing and photographing nature (especially trees and otherworldly mushrooms), and spending time with my wife and 3 boys.
I was a 7th and 8th-grade social studies teacher for 11 years. In 2010, I helped co-author a proposal that brought one device for every student to the social studies department. During this rollout, it became clear that devices alone would not improve student learning. The 1:1 rollout exposed the inefficiencies and data problems in education. So we built Otus to solve these issues. I used Otus in my classroom until 2018 - when we were ready to take off and start further growing Otus. Otus empowers educators to continuously improve education and accelerate student learning outcomes by gathering, visualizing, and acting on real-time student-growth data.

King Connections - Conscious Leader, Connector, and Strategic Thinking Partner
Who we are:
King Connections
King Connections is a business consulting firm consisting of principle-minded, purpose-driven, and action-oriented entrepreneurs who are committed to servant leadership and living with the intent to create value in the world.
We created value through real estate and business development with a higher purpose mindset utilizing the power of social capital to generate financial capital.
The greatest challenge that conscious entrepreneurs have is raising capital for their real estate-related initiatives. We at King Connections create connectionally intelligent tribes that help conscious leaders to build and grow their social capital and then leverage it to raise financial capital for their business and/or real estate by utilizing our Connecting with Intent formula that defines the process for communicating with social impact investors.
Who I am:
I am a conscious leader who is principle-centered, action-oriented, results-focused, growth-minded, and a servant leader who accepts accountability and I possess a grateful spirit.
My focus and purpose in life are to build connectionally intelligent tribes of conscious leaders committed to making miracles happen.
My Skills:
I can align, inspire, and build a tribe of like-purpose leaders by guiding them through a process in which they create a mission statement and guiding principles.
I am value-driven and action-oriented. I have mastered a specific system I implement every day so I can get more done in less time.
I am results-focused - I know how to clarify a message. I am able to guide a tribe through a framework in which they create a clear message promoting any product or vision so customers and stakeholders engage.
I believe that all small business owners and particularly conscious leaders are suffering from the following three pain points:
Raising Capital
Generating Revenue from their social cause or mission
Messaging
Financial Modeling and Structuring - Business plan margins, etc
Connections with Social Impact Investors
Target Market: Conscious Leaders seeking to raise capital for their businesses.
Conscious Leaders as defined by businesses that are mission-driven and seek to make a positive measurable impact either environmentally or socially. Conscious Real Estate Developers as well. They are seeking capital and always need help with their financial models.
