I believe bold ideas deserve strong roots. My mission is to help entrepreneurs and investors build ventures that create jobs, revive communities, and position local economies to thrive — for real, and for the long haul.
My work isn’t about flashy wins — it’s about building the kind of ventures that still matter a decade from now. I envision a future where entrepreneurs like you drive prosperity, not just profit. Real communities. Real outcomes. Real staying power.
I write like I build — with clarity, purpose, and a bias toward action. My books tackle the real struggles entrepreneurs face, and offer practical, strategic guidance grounded in experience. No fluff. Just the tools to move forward.
I help business owners turn messy realities into clear paths forward. Whether it’s structuring a partnership, pricing for real profit, or designing a venture that actually fits your life — I care about solutions that work. For you. For your team. For the long haul.
I specialize in real estate that brings places back to life — from rural hotels and glamping destinations to hybrid-use projects that anchor local economies. My focus? Long-term value, strategic redevelopment, and hospitality that serves both guests and the ground it stands on.
I don’t just develop properties — I build places with meaning. That includes honoring the land itself. Much of my work takes place in northern Minnesota, in and around Ojibwa land — and I carry that awareness into how I plan, partner, and build. From glamping sites to rural venues, I think in seasons, legacies, and ecosystems.
Because when you build with heart, you build something that lasts.
