What I've done, what I learned, and what I'm good at.

I lead a team of traders and teachers. I recruited and onboarded people across trading, development, analysis, marketing and community, run a team meeting every weekday after the New York open, and track everyone's tasks in a Team Hub I built.

People do their best work when roles, expectations and pay are written down early. A short daily check-in keeps a team moving better than long weekly meetings.

I can run a team without a big company around me, which is what a startup or any small group needs to move fast.

I designed a three-tier pay structure for teachers: affiliate commissions, capped weekly performance bonuses and discretionary bonuses, tracked in a spreadsheet. I also put contractor agreements, NDAs and revenue share agreements in place for the team.

Incentives shape behavior, so the caps and the rules matter as much as the rewards.

I think about cost and motivation together, and I protect the business while treating people fairly.

I started as a Crew Lead running crews on-site, then was promoted to General Manager and ran day-to-day operations and projects for two and a half years, part-time while in school.

Operations comes down to reliability: show up, communicate, and fix small problems before the customer ever notices them.

I've managed real crews and real customers in a service business, not just online work.

I set the pricing and packaging for a lineup of subscription products, including monthly plans, a bundle and a free tier that leads into paid memberships. I run a weekly sales call, built an affiliate program and work out partnerships with other trading communities.

Pricing is part of the product. How plans are packaged decides who joins and who stays.

I understand recurring revenue from the inside: getting customers, upgrading them and keeping them.

I pitch and scope website and automation projects for local businesses, then deliver them, including the Elevate Human Performance and Beals Lawn Services builds.

Owners care about time saved and customers won, not the technology. I lead with their problem, not my tools.

I can sit down with a business owner, find the real problem and turn it into a project with a clear scope and price.

I shadowed the CEO and the VP of Sales at InfoSight, a manufacturing company. I saw how the whole company runs, from its internal systems to its manufacturing processes, and how it is rolling out a company-wide CRM to manage client relationships.

In an established company, the systems decide how well clients get served. Moving every team onto one CRM is as much about people and habits as it is about software.

I've seen from the top how a manufacturer runs sales and operations, which shapes how I build systems for the businesses I work with.

For about a year and a half I ran every clothing merch drop for Run With Christ, a Christ-centered run club and nonprofit: the designs, working with the manufacturer and checking samples, then the launch. I also made Instagram graphics and built a pitch deck that helped the nonprofit secure six figures in funding.

A physical product takes more planning than a digital one. Samples, lead times and sizing all have to be right before launch day, because you can't push a fix to a shirt.

I've taken real products from a sketch to people's closets, and I can tell an organization's story well enough to win funding.

I built the brand from scratch: name, logo, colors, website and voice, used the same way across the site, Discord and social media. I planned a 30-day short-form video system for TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts, and run the email list.

Consistency builds trust faster than volume. A brand that looks and sounds the same everywhere feels bigger than it is.

I've done branding and marketing hands-on, with my own money and my own results on the line.

I designed check-ins for members who go quiet, a one-time offer for members who cancel, and monthly giveaways that reward consistent journaling.

Keeping a customer costs less than finding a new one, and the warning signs show up early in how people behave.

I think past the first sale, about the whole customer relationship.

I planned and built a member platform with Discord sign-in, a trade journal, a full course with knowledge checks, a first-30-days guide and a Team Hub. The journal went live October 22, 2026 and the course the next day.

Ship a version that works, then improve it with feedback from the people using it.

I can own a product end to end: planning, building, launching and supporting it.

I run a Discord community with role-based access, daily live sessions and weekly calls. I answer member questions every day and review their trades one on one.

Communities stay healthy when members feel seen. Quick, personal replies matter more than polished announcements.

I'm comfortable being customer-facing every day, at scale.

I day trade Nasdaq (NQ) and S&P 500 (ES) futures using a model I developed, the CISD Rejection Block model. Every trade is measured in R, with a set stop and target for a 3 to 1 reward to risk, and I trade funded prop firm accounts inside their drawdown rules.

Discipline matters more than the setup. A good plan only works if I follow it on every trade, especially after a loss.

I make fast decisions with real money on the line, using rules instead of emotion.

I studied about 2,000 backtested trades to find which filters actually improved results and what a realistic win rate looks like.

Test a belief before trusting it. Plenty of ideas that look great on a chart don't hold up across thousands of trades.

I back decisions with evidence and I'm honest about what the numbers say.

I'm studying Finance at Ohio State's Fisher College of Business, after earning an associate's degree in Business from Columbus State.

The theory lands differently when you're already running a business. I bring real examples to every class.

I pair formal finance training with hands-on experience running companies.

I design and build websites with logins, member areas and staff dashboards, hosted on Cloudflare and managed in GitHub. For Elevate, I connected Momence and built a staff dashboard with an automatic Monday report. For Beals, I built an instant quote tool using Google Maps and Jobber.

The best software fits into the tools a business already uses instead of asking them to switch.

I deliver working software that real businesses use every day.

I build with Claude Code every day, across websites, indicators and automation. I plan the work, review what it writes and ship it safely.

AI is fastest when I know exactly what I want and check its work carefully. The thinking is still my job.

I can produce work that used to need a full team, and I know how to keep the quality high.

I wrote [Ark] Noah's Indicator in Pine Script v6 across six releases, with alerts and a backtestable strategy version. I also built automated futures strategies that place trades through webhooks, plus a dashboard to issue licenses and shut strategies off remotely.

Writing a strategy as code forces every rule to be exact. Anything vague in my head shows up as a bug.

I can translate expert knowledge into software other people can use.

I teach members live during the New York session every weekday, plus a weekly Premium call. I built a full course with chapters, progress tracking and knowledge checks that require 80% to pass, and I review members' trades one on one.

If I can't explain it simply, I don't understand it well enough yet. Real examples beat theory every time.

I can train people, speak in front of a group, and explain complex ideas clearly.

I write onboarding material, documentation and step-by-step setup guides, like Mac and Windows guides for running trading software.

Good instructions assume nothing. Every skipped step becomes a support question.

I communicate clearly in writing, which saves time for everyone downstream.
