Current Work

Three things on the bench.

The Turnaround

Leading the operational rebuild of a wellness business: systems, processes, procedures, team, service culture, and tech. Full circle from the franchise years — this time with harder-won judgment.

The Land

Managing our family vineyard in Sonoma County, CA. The ranch kid, back on the ranch, making something patient. Dirty boots and long days. That's it.

The Build

The work that matters most.
