I've been building since I was 14 — a patented, FDA-listed medical device, a retail storefront, and an influencer management firm. Now leading account management at Beagle by Corgi (YC unicorn) in Dallas.
Three active fronts in 2026 — operating at Beagle, board-serving at R&R, co-running Collins & Gamble.
Account management, onboarding, and charge management at the renters-insurance platform for property managers. Building the systems that handle what's coming next as the team scales nationally.
Hiring in Dallas, Chicago & Salt Lake CityStepped from CEO to Board Member in January 2026. Focused on long-term strategy and the regulatory pathway for the device.
Influencer-management firm — admin, operations, and content support for Amazon creators and small businesses through an international team.
Three companies across three industries — MedTech, the creator economy, and main-street retail.
Commercialized Rise & Rotate — a patented, FDA-listed assistive transfer device that helps patients at risk of falling move safely between a bed and a chair. Took it from concept to NSU's Inferno Pitch to winning the 2023 Pelican Cup.

Started in high school with my childhood best friend as a social media management and small-business consulting shop. We grew it into Amazon influencer management, and then again into workload outsourcing — pairing creators and small businesses with international admin and operations talent.
Bought this retail mattress outlet at age 20 in March 2022 under the BoxDrop national brand framework. Took it from a DTC mattress shop into commercial accounts and operated as owner through 2025 — then exited at the end of 2025 to take the Head of Account Management role at Beagle in Dallas.

My first business was selling candy in school — building a small network of student sellers, managing supply, and figuring out pricing on the fly. By 2017–2018 I'd moved into the resale of low-production, scarcity-driven goods, which taught me the fundamentals I still use today: supply and demand, quality assurance, and vendor relationships.

Co-founded R&R Integrity Services at age 17 to commercialize Rise & Rotate — the Personal Mobility Device that helps patients at risk of falling. I'd been part of the patent process since I was 14, when the provisional was filed in February 2016. Stepped in as the operating partner (functionally COO) when the company was formed in 2018 — running prosecution through to grant, the FDA listing, manufacturing coordination, and the go-to-market work.
Stepped up from COO to the CEO seat at R&R Integrity Services post-Covid — taking over the company through the pandemic transition while finishing my BBA at NSU. The same year, the Personal Mobility Device patent was granted (US 10,682,275 B2, June 16, 2020) — 3 independent claims, 17 total.
Bought BoxDrop Beaumont at age 20 — a retail mattress outlet operating under the BoxDrop national brand framework. Took the store from a DTC mattress shop into commercial accounts, adding a third industry on the portfolio alongside R&R and Collins & Gamble. Operated through the end of 2025, then exited to take the Head of Account Management role at Beagle in Dallas.

Won 1st place at the 2nd Annual Entrepreneurship Pelican Cup with the Rise & Rotate pitch ($25,000) — already CEO of R&R Integrity Services, owner-operator of BoxDrop Beaumont, and co-running Collins & Gamble. 2023 was the first year the Pelican Cup was open to all Louisiana universities and colleges — the 2022 inaugural was limited to ULM/VCOM students. The Pelican Cup is Louisiana's premier business plan competition and one of the largest collegiate all-cash prize pools in the country (pool grew from $61K in 2023 to $157K in 2026).

Joined Beagle — the renters-insurance platform for property management companies, by Corgi (an AI-first insurance carrier and Y Combinator S24 alum that's grown into a unicorn). Head of Account Management out of the Dallas office, overseeing post-close operations across account management, onboarding, and charge management as the team scales nationally.
→ Actively hiring in Dallas, Chicago, and Salt Lake City.
Dallas. Head of Account Management at Beagle by Corgi (YC unicorn). Board Member at R&R Integrity Services. Co-running Collins & Gamble. The role changes, the industry changes, but the work stays the same.
I'm an operator. I've been building since I was a kid running a candy network in school, and I haven't stopped — through reselling low-production goods in high school, commercializing a patented medical device, co-founding an influencer-management firm with my best friend, and running a retail storefront before I was old enough to drink.
Today I oversee post-close operations at Beagle by Corgi, a YC unicorn — account management, onboarding, and charge management. Scaling teams and systems inside fast-growth companies is what I do. The role changes, the industry changes, but the work stays the same: build systems that can handle what's coming next.
Understand the system, build the relationships, do the reps. That's the work.
