I’m a mission-driven executive passionate about building businesses that matter—whether through real estate development, global venture investing, or supporting veteran entrepreneurs. From leading combat deployments as a U.S. Army Captain to co-founding a cross-border accelerator and scaling startups across multiple industries, my journey has been rooted in service, strategy, and growth. Today, I lead DDB Capital Fund, where we focus on transformative developments that create long-term value for communities and investors across the Southeast.

I’m thrilled to share my executive biography, a reflection of my journey as an educator, entrepreneur, and advocate for inclusive economic development. Over the past 18 years, I’ve been honored to lead programs that blend innovation with community impact and help learners and leaders alike discover new possibilities.
