About

My Experience

By trade, I’m a mechanical engineer, but I knew early on that corporate life wasn’t for me.

I co-founded my first business, Painting with Purpose, with my brother. Unfortunately, that business failed, but we learned a lot in the process. Our second business, FLO Cycling, was a huge success.

At FLO Cycling, we designed and manufactured high-end carbon fiber bicycle wheels. Additionally, we donated thousands of bikes to less fortunate children through our Bike for a Kid program.

I sold my shares in the company at the end of 2019. At the time of the sale, we had sold tens of thousands of bicycle wheels to customers in nearly 100 countries. Building and operating the company for a decade taught me countless lessons.

Why Writing?

For more than 20 years, I’ve dreamed of having a writing career. My ultimate goal is to write a New York Times Best Seller. I know that’s a lofty goal, but every dream starts somewhere. Hopefully, this project fulfills that dream.
