Do What is Right, Because it is Right.
About
I was raised on the shores of Cape Cod in Falmouth, Massachusetts — a small town rich in history, resilience, and entrepreneurial spirit. My family has been rooted there for five generations, defined by hard work, service, and self-reliance. From an early age, I was taught that nothing replaces discipline, initiative, and the ability to think independently.
By twelve, I had started my first business, learning firsthand the value of responsibility and financial independence. That entrepreneurial drive has shaped every chapter of my life since.
I’ve built a career as an entrepreneur, investor, and business architect — founding and leading companies that create leverage, solve real problems, and deliver measurable results. My approach is straightforward: identify opportunity, control outcomes, and never tolerate mediocrity.
I believe success isn’t given — it’s engineered. I operate with clear principles, demand excellence from myself and those around me, and surround myself with people who think and execute at the highest level.
This site provides a clear lens into who I am, how I operate, and the companies I’ve built.

Core Principles
These 10 principles define how I operate — in business, leadership, and life. They guide every decision, relationship, and venture I engage with.
01
Do What is Right Because it is Right
Always act with integrity and make decisions based on a moral compass, regardless of circumstances or consequences. Upholding this consistently builds trust — personally and professionally.
03
The Power of Thank You
A simple "thank you" strengthens relationships, builds loyalty, and creates a culture of appreciation that drives results.
05
Business is Always Personal
Every interaction matters. People work with those they like, trust, and respect. Relationships drive outcomes.
07
Surround Yourself with the Highest Quality People You Can
Your network shapes your future. Seek out people who challenge, inspire, and elevate you.
09
Make Yourself Obsolete
Build teams, train leaders, and design systems so effective they don't need you. That's real leadership.
02
Take Personal Accountability for All That You Do
Own your actions and outcomes. Success or failure, accountability ensures growth, earns respect, and defines real leadership.
04
Focus on Solutions, Not Blame
When challenges arise, focus on fixing them — not pointing fingers. Progress depends on solutions, not excuses.
06
Never Pass Up a Good Thing
Opportunities are fleeting. If it aligns with your values and vision — take it.
08
Never Let Anyone Waste Your Time
Time is your most valuable resource. Protect it. Spend it only where it creates value.
10
Earn Your PhD in Common Sense
Sound judgment beats theory. Apply practical, grounded thinking to complex problems. It's your most reliable skill.
Philanthropy

The Optima Cares Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)3 charitable organization that provides support to groups focused on improving lives and strengthening communities. The foundation has contributed to numerous causes, including the Orangewood Children’s Foundation in Orange County, CA, which supports at-risk youth and fosters pathways to self-sufficiency.
Private Giving Initiatives
Through private trusts and sponsorship programs, I provide targeted support to youth facing economic hardship — both in the United States and internationally. These efforts focus on access to education, basic resources, and healthcare, creating opportunities for long-term self-sufficiency.
