Ventures - 20+ years of building businesses that matter

I built Realms.tv to give creators more than a subscription page. The platform combines live event hosting, engagement tools, and community features into a single experience — and in its first year, it's generating nearly $1M in annual revenue with 25+ active creator realms.

The platform has hosted thousands of live streams including an Avenged Sevenfold album release party, Blue Angels coverage, band competitions, sporting events, and a continuing education conference with 5,000+ concurrent viewers.

I co-founded Umoja.gg as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit built on a simple belief: every young person deserves access to sports, community, and opportunity. The organization runs soccer camps, competitive tournaments, and Rocket League esports programs — reaching youth where they are, whether on the pitch or behind a screen.

Our events regularly bring together 50-100 kids each, and we've donated shoes, gear, and equipment to young athletes in need. Rockford FC Academy operates as a subsidiary, extending our mission into structured year-round youth development.

I founded Audentio in 2007 from a library computer as a teenager and grew it into a full-service digital agency with 15+ team members, 50+ clients, and over $2M in annual revenue. The agency served organizations ranging from early-stage startups to billion-dollar media companies like Ars Technica, IGN, and Yahoo Sports.

After nearly two decades of building the business, I sold Audentio to an investor. The agency continues to operate, a testament to the team, processes, and client relationships I built from the ground up.

Rockford FC Academy is a youth soccer organization I lead as President under the Umoja nonprofit umbrella. The academy offers structured training programs across five distinct age groups and fields a competitive U23 adult team, creating a pathway from youth development to higher-level competition.

Beyond the organizational leadership, I'm hands-on — coaching, driving marketing and growth strategy, and providing operational resources to ensure every young athlete in Rockford has access to quality soccer development.

I founded ThemeHouse in 2012 and grew it from a handful of forum themes into a full-scale digital products marketplace serving WordPress, Shopify, and community platform users worldwide. The marketplace surpassed $3M in total revenue and 50,000 products sold.

I built the business end-to-end — product strategy, marketplace design, e-commerce infrastructure, licensing systems, and the customer experience that earned a reputation for quality and trust across the community platform ecosystem.

Mythos is a talent and media studio I founded to bring together exceptional creative talent with the brands and audiences that need them. The studio operates across three pillars: representation, strategy, and production.

Already working with 10-20 creators across video, photography, and art, with active video production underway including brand videos for Umoja and Audentio.
