I build companies, and the systems that run them.
Serial entrepreneur and AI system designer. Two companies, in M&A and fitness, the systems underneath them, and projects I build in the open. Currently open to AI consulting engagements.

Axia Growthfounder & ceo
started in a dorm roomOff-market deal sourcing for PE firms, independent sponsors, investment banks, and M&A advisors. Multi-channel outbound built on a proprietary database of business owners showing exit intent, run on a platform my team and I wrote: campaigns, CRM, a 30-seat dialer, inbox triage, and reporting in one system.
Weight Supplyco-founder
Wholesale fitness equipment distribution, started with a friend. Commercial equipment for gyms and facilities. My side is the systems: quoting, orders, and fulfillment run on a platform we built for it.
OperationKitopen source
An operating system for running a company with AI agents: a kanban of objectives where every card is an autonomous coding session, with a fresh-context reviewer grading the work before it can pass. Apache-2.0, self-hosted on your own box. It is the generalized version of the system that runs mine, and I build it out for operators who want it running without spending their own month on it.
I take a small number of implementation engagements a year. The one I do now is OperationKit: I build your portable knowledge base and backfill it with the context you already have, stand up a private server for your agents to run on, connect it to whichever models you prefer, and write your first agent, skill, and tool files. You own the server, the files, and the keys. Nothing in it depends on me after I hand it over.
how the OperationKit build worksI speak about entrepreneurship at colleges and universities, so far at Dartmouth and Vanderbilt. The talk is the version of this story I would have wanted at nineteen: how to start before you know what you are doing, what failing early teaches you, and what a small team can build with AI now.
I played football and ran track at Williams. In the spring of my freshman year I fractured my back, and that ended it. I have always been competitive and I needed somewhere to put it, so I started building things.
The first was a Web3 analytics startup with a few upperclassmen. I joined as a freshman and took a semester off to work on it full time. Then the NFT market crashed, the runway ran out, and it was over.
I went back to school, drove Uber, bartended at the campus pub, and spent most of a year recruiting for investment banking before admitting it was not for me. I would rather build while I still had the room to. I cold-messaged founders on LinkedIn and did freelance growth work for fintech and Web3 companies, then built an AI interview-prep platform and a newsletter, and moved on from both.
In January 2025 an advisor asked if I could find deal flow for family offices. That became Axia Growth, which I grew while finishing my degree. Weight Supply came next. When the automations running Axia broke, I rebuilt its operations AI-first, and that system became OperationKit.
// things I think about a lot: agentic systems that do operational work instead of demos, proprietary data as an edge, why the lower middle market still trades hands over cold calls, and owning your own infrastructure. This page is a single HTML file served off a box I control, and an agent deployed it.
Best email is a few sentences on what you run and what you want the agents doing.
