About Me

Franchise Consultant | Multi-Unit Owner | Founder of Franchise Friend

I don’t just talk about franchising; I’ve lived it. After owning and operating four different franchise concepts, I realized that the biggest hurdle for most aspiring entrepreneurs isn't a lack of drive—it’s a lack of clarity. Today, I serve as a Franchise Advisor, helping candidates cut through the noise to find a business model that actually aligns with their lifestyle and financial goals.

My approach is built on "The Blackbook of Franchising" methodology: identifying the red flags most people miss and focusing on proven systems that create long-term wealth. Whether we’re discussing the tactical side of a $1M+ build-out or the mindset shift required to move from employee to owner, I bring a "no-nonsense" perspective to the mic.

When I’m not helping people find their perfect business fit, you can find me on the golf course, planning our next family adventure to Europe, or navigating the beautiful chaos of life in Mount Pleasant with my wife, our two sons, and our Golden Retriever, Brody.
