A Little About Me

My first business ran on Legos. I've been building something ever since.

By day I work at Esri, developing GIS training and AI workflows. Building digital tools isn't a side interest — it's what I do professionally.

But the entrepreneurial bug goes back further than that. As a kid I ran fair games with Legos as currency. In high school I built a greenhouse and sold plants at the farmer's market. Then I discovered eBay and never really looked back.

I got serious about shoe reselling in 2023 — sourcing from thrift stores, yard sales, and discount shops and flipping them on eBay and Poshmark. What started as a hustle turned into a genuine obsession with the process.

I've been creating content for over 20 years — websites, courses, apps, product reviews, and more. That experience led me to start ResellingShoes.com, where I help everyday resellers make their first $1,000 flipping shoes. Which eventually led me to build SoleScore — a tool I kept wishing existed every time I was standing in a thrift store aisle.

I'm married to the love of my life and we have four kids.
