At Achilles Healed Co., I’m not just looking to buy a business—I’m here to lead one with purpose. I founded this company to carry forward what others have built with care, integrity, and grit. My mission is to acquire and operate a values-driven small business or franchise, creating long-term value for its people, customers, and community.
A business built on resilience
on the football field, where I was a Division I cornerback at Oklahoma State with a future in the NFL— until three consecutive Achilles ruptures changed everything. What followed wasn’t just recovery, it was reinvention. That experience inspired an Achilles Healed mindset that I’ve carried from athletics to the corporate world, and now into entrepreneurship.
I later earned my MBA from Stanford and spent three years advising Executives while at Bain & Company. But my ultimate goal has always been to lead from the inside—not as a consultant or investor, but as an operator with skin in the game.
My journey began…

Advised multi-site operators—built empathy for owners and frontline teamsBain & Company – Strategy Consulting
Led growth and performance work for founder-led and PE-backed businessesStanford GSB – MBA

Taught high school and business audiences how to lead through adversity
My experience transfers to ownership…
The name Achilles Healed Co. represents more than a setback I lived through—it reflects a mindset I live by. Resilience isn’t just about recovery. It’s about how we lead after the healing. That’s the energy I bring into every relationship—with employees, customers, and sellers alike.
