About

Strategic Capital Partner & Veteran Advocate

With over a decade in small business lending and a background as a long-term founder, I help veteran entrepreneurs bridge the gap between vision and funded reality. I specialize in Government Contract Financing for small businesses and startups, focusing on navigating complex capital structures to ensure growth and operational stability.

Financial Expertise As Assistant Vice President at SouthStar Capital, I focus on empowering businesses by tailoring capital structures that meet their specific operational needs. My expertise lies in simplifying the lending process—from initial underwriting to final funding—ensuring clients have the liquidity needed to scale. Whether it is securing commercial receivables, equipment financing, or navigating complex restructuring and DIP strategies, my goal is to provide the financial foundation necessary for a business to thrive.

Entrepreneurial Roots & Modern Vision Before entering commercial finance, I spent 13 years as President/CEO of SWI 3R, Inc., growing a global commodity brokerage by 100% year-over-year for five consecutive years. I understand the "owner’s perspective" because I’ve lived it. Today, I bridge that experience with a modern vision through Acuitist, where I explore utilizing AI and advanced analytics in finance to provide businesses with the strategic insights needed to compete in a rapidly evolving economy.
