Milestones. They're the name of the game. I've been here for a while, so it's time to do an introduction. I'm on a mission to bring legacy, Texas-based blue-collar businesses into this century. I do this by purchasing businesses, training their teams, and integrating

Currently at Pack Expo in Las Vegas. Flying back home the same day. The grind isn’t glamorous—but it’s necessary. Anyone else done the in-and-out business trip?

You think you’re building wealth. But you’re just building walls. Work can fill your wallet — and still empty your life. Let your work revolve around your life, not the other way around.

Your reputation matters. How you do business matters. Integrity isn’t “soft.” It’s the foundation that keeps success standing. Keep your word. Lead with character. Build what lasts.

Hiring overseas isn’t about cost-cutting. It’s about finding people who care as much as you do.

A good leader owns the mess and the solution. Accountability is where trust starts.

Consistency beats intensity. The quiet work you do daily builds the momentum no one sees.

Every deal looks good in a spreadsheet. But numbers don’t tell you if people trust leadership. Culture is the hidden multiplier in every acquisition.

Leadership growth stops the second you decide you “know enough.” The world is changing fast. Your skills should too. Learn. Adapt. Innovate. That’s how you stay ahead.

Recruiters take 7.4 seconds to judge your resume. But the first conversation reveals who really fits. In our recent hire, the top candidate proved it—curious, prepared, collaborative. The weakest? Still focused only on themselves. First impressions don’t lie.

“Good enough” is where progress dies. Stay hungry. Keep pushing. Greatness lives one step past your comfort zone.

My daughter was home sick, then back at school—until she called in tears asking me to pick her up. Turns out, she just missed being with me. We ended up at a coffee shop reading about women entrepreneurs in Austin. That moment reminded me—curiosity drives learning, and

You think you’re building wealth. But you’re just building walls. Work can fill your wallet — and still empty your life. Let your work revolve around your life, not the other way around.

You’ve got two choices: Move forward toward growth. Or retreat back to safety. Growth feels risky. But staying safe costs more.
