a little about me
I've spent 18 years building businesses across fitness, education, and marketing, including Garage Gym Athlete, PT Biz, and Patch.
Along the way: more than $40 million in online revenue, two appearances on the Inc. 500 list, and a lot of lessons learned by doing the work.
But the part I care about most is what the business makes room for. Being a husband. Being a dad. Training. Having time to actually live.
That's why I write about the boring stuff. The processes, decisions, and habits that let a business grow without taking over your life.
