What I'm About
I'm a serial entrepreneur who was born with an adventurous spirit. I've spent my life believing there's always a better (and more fun) way to do just about everything.
Eventually, that innate curiosity and drive for a better mousetrap led me to invent FlexScreen - the world's first and only flexible window screen—which landed me on Shark Tank and resulted in a deal with Lori Greiner (the Queen of QVC). This milestone catapulted my business in some pretty unbelievable ways, leading to automation, licensing, nine-figure sales, and, ultimately, a lucrative acquisition by the largest screen manufacturing company in the country in February 2025.
Although I'm old enough to be a grandfather, I'm still young enough to think I'm not that old, and I act accordingly most of the time. Seeking outdoor adventures has led me to many exciting and sometimes dangerous places where I take some calculated risks - some that work, some that don't. In this way, my personal life parallels my professional life, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
As the great Wayne Gretzky once said (or was it Michael Scott?) - "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take." I don't mind missing once in a while, but you'll never find me on the sidelines without the ball.
WHAT I DO
Now I spend my days leading, speaking, training, blogging, podcasting, and, of course, still dreaming of better mousetraps. I've gained a large following as a leading expert in the window and door industry, but my experience as an inventor, a leader, and an entrepreneur reaches far beyond any one industry. Using all that I've learned to help others reach their full potential is a big part of what I aspire to.

MY WHY
I'm a family man - married to my high school sweetheart, Alisha, with four kids, six grandkids (and counting!), and two very pampered and entitled Cane Corsos. We all still like each other enough to get together every Sunday for dinner, and I consider our healthy family life to be my most important and highest achievement.
