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 a very pampered and entitled Cane Corso. 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.
