[ 01 ] Experience
I’ve built GTM from inside the mess.
I’ve been the founding BDR, the BDR Manager, and the person helping build the play while everyone else was still figuring out what the play should be.
My experience spans very different stages of tech, from helping break into the North American market at a company that reached unicorn status within nine months, to building GTM motion inside stealth and early-stage startups where very little is defined yet.
That’s where I do my best work.
I thrive in the chaos of early go-to-market: finding the right ICP, identifying the actual buyer, sharpening the message, testing what resonates, building the outbound motion, and turning what works into something repeatable.
I’ve worked across the full outbound stack: cold calling, email, social selling, prospecting, sequences, qualification, pipeline development, messaging, CRM workflows, and everything in between.
But GTM does not stop at the playbook.
I also build and improve the systems behind the motion: CRM architecture, workflow automation, lead routing, lifecycle design, reporting, data flow, and the operational handoffs between people, process, and technology.
I also use AI as part of that infrastructure, including prompt systems, AI-assisted workflows, agents, automation, research, messaging, and other practical GTM applications.
I understand GTM from the ground up because I’ve had to execute it from the ground up.
Now I’m adding deeper technical proficiency to that operating experience so I can help companies not only figure out the motion, but build the systems that allow it to run, improve, and scale.
I’m available for contract projects, fractional engagements, and defined Statements of Work.

[ 04 ] Before You Hire
A sales team can’t scale a motion that doesn’t exist.
Hiring AEs, SDRs, or BDRs before the ICP, message, qualification criteria, sales process, and underlying systems are defined often means paying salespeople to discover the GTM motion instead of execute it.
I help build the motion first, then make it repeatable enough to hand off.

[ 05 ] Origin
I learned to build before I called it building.
Professional basketball taught me to read the floor, recognize patterns, adapt in motion, understand roles inside a larger system, and see plays developing before they fully formed. Those instincts followed me into sales, operations, entrepreneurship, and GTM.

[ 07 ] Newsletter
Connect the Dots
Signals, systems, context, and the connections between them.
My notes on GTM, technology, business, work, and the patterns worth paying attention to.
I connect what looks unrelated, translate complexity, and explain why it matters.
Currently in training. Publicly.
I'm building AI GTM Engineering skills the way I built a pro basketball career: reps, film, and a scoreboard everyone can see. Every build runs on real data in CAROS, the revenue system I help build and use as my live training ground.

Plus Salesforce, HubSpot, Make, BI, RAG, MCP, and LangGraph in the full syllabus.
I built this site, the CAROS demo, and five free revenue tools, and co-built the CAROS website and dashboard. The syllabus shows every one.
