The Journey
Kennett Square kid.
Philadelphia builder.
Temple grad, husband to Katie (my 8th grade crush), father of four, Phillies fan for life. Back home in Kennett Square now — still building everything out of Philly.
Kennett Square → Temple
Small-town kid heads to Philadelphia. BBA in Entrepreneurship from Fox School of Business. Never really left.
United By Blue
Co-founded an outdoor brand with a promise: remove one pound of trash from waterways for every product sold. Built it to $20M revenue with flagship stores, cafés, and 350+ retail partners.
FareRx + UBB Acquired
Founded a food-as-medicine company to hand-deliver fresh groceries to health plan members. Same year, United By Blue was acquired after 12 years and 5M+ pounds of trash removed.
Society Hill Hotel
Bought a fire-damaged, 192-year-old former flophouse in Old City. Spent a year restoring it into a 15-room boutique hotel, restaurant, and whiskey bar. Found a secret tunnel under 3rd Street.
Forbes + Scaling FareRx
Became a Forbes contributor. Gave the commencement speech at Kennett High — 18 years after sitting in those seats. Crossed 100,000 grocery bags delivered.
Helen
Built and launched Helen — an AI tool that translates insurance cards into plain English. Named after my grandmother, who lives next door. Now being adopted by Community Health Workers across the country.
