Built on Systems.Proven in Scale.
For over three decades, I’ve built systems that turn complexity into clarity — and scale into reality. From the early Internet to today’s AI revolution, I’ve helped founders eliminate bottlenecks, accelerate conversions, and reclaim time through leverage.
I don’t just teach automation. I build it.
I don’t sell AI hype. I deliver AI outcomes.
Across industries, platforms, and models — including co-building and scaling Revolution Golf to millions of users and a multi–8-figure exit — I’ve helped founders scale smarter and lead freer.
If you’re ready to do the same, this site was built for you.
FOUNDER SCALING SYSTEMS™
From Cold Calls to Conversion Systems
My journey began with one core obsession: turning complexity into systems that sell.
Before the Internet changed everything, I was already building high-performance sales teams and operational frameworks — including leading a telecom company with 65 reps, putting computers on sales desks before it was the norm.
When the web hit, I jumped in with both feet — launching design firms, ad agencies, and eventually building one of the first SaaS platforms for automated marketing. The goal was always the same: build leverage through strategy and systems.
As digital evolved, I doubled down on conversion-focused funnels, direct-response copy, and high-performing offer architecture.
I became known for creating Grand Slam Offers — irresistible value stacks that positioned businesses in a category of one. And I tested relentlessly, using data to refine every stage of the funnel.
That foundation led to my next chapter: co-building Revolution Golf with my partner Justin Tupper. I designed and scaled the marketing and sales engine from scratch — from ads to backend CRO — which helped take the platform to millions of users and a multi–8-figure exit via NBC Sports.
Today, I lead Founder Scaling Systems — a company that helps growth-minded founders reclaim their time by installing AI-powered systems that eliminate complexity and unblock scale.
I’ve seen hundreds of tools come and go. But AI? This is the biggest leap since the Internet — and I’m all in.
That’s why I created the AI Growth Stack™ and the Time Buyback Stack™ — frameworks that help founders focus, systemize, and install what actually moves the needle.
When founders work with me, they don’t get tech talk. They get leverage.
Every phase of my journey sharpened one core skill — building systems that turn complexity into clarity, and scale into freedom.
