I’ve spent the last decade learning one simple truth: wealthy people don’t gamble on startups — they own businesses and assets that already produce cashflow.

I saw this firsthand in my early career at American Express, working with some of the wealthiest clients in the country. Every single one of them had multiple businesses, real estate and investments throwing off steady income. That’s when it clicked for me: working a job or trying to grind your way through a risky startup isn’t the path to lasting wealth. Ownership is.

In 2012, I launched my first e-commerce business, scaled it to multiple six figures in just two years, and successfully exited. That experience opened the door to transforming over 30 other client businesses — but it also taught me that the real game isn’t just building. It’s acquiring.

Today, my primary focus is Acquire Funding Group, where I help entrepreneurs take the very first step toward ownership: building a strong credit profile and business foundation so they can access funding. With the right capital in place, they can skip the startup gamble and acquire proven businesses that generate cashflow from day one.

My goal is simple: to help ambitious entrepreneurs escape the grind, leverage funding as a tool and step into a life of freedom, purpose, and ownership.
