Guiding Your Business Into Its Future
My commitment is to honor the unique identity of your business while fostering a culture of growth, cooperation, and well-being.
Why Business Ownership Matters to Me
I enjoy working with a team, solving problems, and finding ways to make a business run better. That might mean improving a process, helping an employee learn a new skill, or making things easier for a customer. I want to grow a business that supports my family, provides good jobs, and serves its customers and community well.
My Story
I grew up in Texas and Florida, where small business was part of family life. My father founded and built a residential homebuilding company in Texas, and some of my earliest memories are of walking construction sites with him—hard hat on, checking the work, and talking with contractors.
My grandfathers also shaped how I think about work. One was a steel mill worker and cattle rancher. The other grew up on a small farm, served in the U.S. Air Force, and worked as a state police officer and federal law enforcement agent.
I graduated from the University of Florida (go Gators!) with a degree in finance. At Amazon, I managed more than 250 front-line associates across several warehouse departments. It was a hands-on role that taught me the value of teamwork, efficiency, and leading by example.
I later managed and grew direct-to-consumer brands, with responsibility for sales, expenses, and profitability. Today, I own and run Ohana Consulting, helping brands grow their Amazon and eCommerce businesses. Through Parkstone, I’m looking to buy and grow a business where I can put that experience to work.

Finding a Good Fit
My main focus is B2B service businesses and direct-to-consumer brands where my experience in Amazon, eCommerce, and digital marketing could help the business grow. I’m also open to opportunities in residential services, construction, and manufacturing.
Ideally, the business has been operating for five years or more and is profitable or at least covering its operating costs. I’m geographically flexible and willing to relocate for the right opportunity.
I know no business is perfect. If yours has some challenges or needs updating, I’m happy to talk them through with you. I’m ready to roll up my sleeves and work alongside you. I’ll take the time to learn the business, understand what matters to you, and plan a transition that works for you and your team.
