Our Story

Mission
To empower people to turn ideas into action by sharing the mindset, principles, and experiences that have shaped my own journey. By saying YES to opportunity—even before certainty—I believe anyone can carve their own path to success.

About Me
My journey has been built on a simple idea: say YES, then figure it out. That mindset—trusting instinct over perfection—has guided me through business, family, and challenge.

I’ve been married for 19 years, a proud dad to two amazing kids, and lucky to be surrounded by lifelong friends who keep me grounded.

From earning a starting spot on my high school varsity football team with no reputation, to joining the USA Junior Olympic skiing team, to launching multiple businesses—including Blacklisted Consulting—I’ve always chased growth over comfort.

One of my proudest wins? Completing the 29029 Everesting Challenge… on my third attempt. I failed twice. But I came back. That climb taught me: failure isn’t final unless you quit.

I’ve built a career helping people and companies unlock potential. From Wall Street to billion-dollar sourcing negotiations, I’ve led teams through change, driven cost savings, and helped businesses move faster and smarter.

But titles aside, I’m most proud of being someone who keeps showing up. I believe success isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about choosing to try.

Now in my 50s, living in Malvern, PA, I’m still saying YES. And I hope my story gives others the courage to do the same.
