Born in Texas, raised in Seattle, and forged in the Arizona sun—I took an unconventional route into executive search. With degrees in Design Management and a Master’s in Design Thinking from ASU, I started my career focused on how people interact with systems. Turns out, that’s the heart of good recruiting too: understanding the human engine behind business performance.
For over 14 years, I’ve helped owners and founders hire the kind of leaders who bring clarity, momentum, and calm to the chaos. I specialize in second-in-command roles—COOs, Presidents, Integrators—the ones who build the machine so the visionary doesn’t have to. Before launching Captains Club, I led executive search at a top retained firm, partnering with organizations ranging from Fortune 500s to founder-led shops in need of structure, stability, or scale.
Outside of work, I spend my time with my wife Lauren and our two boys, August and Dawson. I’m a lifelong learner with a soft spot for Stoic philosophy, a hard-earned appreciation for parenting, and a love of rebuilding classic cars—currently wrenching on a 1963 Falcon. I believe in staying grounded, staying curious, and using every tool (including AI) to do more of what matters.
