About

I run an electrical services operation in Florida with full P&L responsibility for revenue growth, team performance, and operational efficiency.

My focus: building service businesses that scale. I've grown revenue consistently through disciplined operations — without dedicated marketing spend or major systems investment.

  • Full P&L ownership across service, remodel, and generator verticals
  • Focus on unit economics, job costing, and controllable costs
  • Team leadership: technicians, sales, and operations
  • Tech-forward operator: AI and automation for analysis and process improvement
  • 20+ years in the trade, from the truck to the office
I think like an owner because I've been one. I understand what it takes to build profitably and operate independently.
