Principle Advisor @ Conrad Alois
I’m a builder at heart, today more of a generalist but my unique specialties include strategy execution, ops, and tech. My motivation over the last 30 years in business comes from the fact that I love to see people and their businesses, improve, learn, and get better.
With 20 years of executive level focus on growth and change oriented companies my background includes adding over $200m in revenue, helping 60 new ventures get their start, and rolling up my sleeves with 100+ companies in an advisory and consultant capacity.
Today I own and operate a few small companies, a non-profit foundation, am an adjunct professor, and spend much of my time giving back and fostering my local entrepreneurial communities.
My main objective is to work on interesting projects with serious executives and business owners who are intent on sustainable improvement. To this end, I’ve developed the Foundational Thinking mental model to help cure stagnation problems, and the SIMPL Method to help my clients build sustainable business operations.
Through my work at Conrad Alois, I am available to assist select clientele with most business problems, while also providing coaching and mentorship when it is called for.

My Approach
I am a hands-on leader who likes to get out in front of issues and a practitioner of "roll-up-your-sleeves" management.
My practice philosophy
My approach is deep, personal, and no-nonsense. Grounded in a proven business philosophy that I’ve developed over 30 years of hands on business-building experience, it is composed of two proprietary frameworks: Foundational Thinking, a mental model to facilitate the creation of clarity, and the SIMPL Method (Simple Management Practice for Leaders), a organizational management approach used to deliver sustainable results.
Who I work with
Founders, owners, and executives in the startup, growth, scale, and reorganizing stages of their business.
What to expect
Direct, embedded work that is long-term impact-driven.
Why work with me?
I have the skills (and ability to teach) to both develop and execute a strategy. Simply put, this means I know how to set the objective and get the important things done while sticking with it through completion. Experienced as an multi-founder, entrepreneur, intrapreneur, and C-Suite executive, my value lies in the ability to simplify complex problems into actionable work.
I have both a deep technical (Systems Engineer to CIO) and operational background (startups, turn arounds, scaled growth, divestitures) enables me to work with select high-performance leaders who face unique business and personal challenges.
So far, over my career I have worked with teams and companies to add over $200m in combined revenue to their operations, and save almost as much. In every engagement, I strive to provide genuine, thoughtful help. I approach everything I do with care and passion.
You'll find that my approach is comprehensive, strategic, and designed for those who seek genuine, lasting results.
Who do I work best with?
Focused founders, CEOs, and executives who are committed to improvement and sustainable growth.
How do we work together?
You pick: 3, 6, or a 12-month engagement. It's results-oriented, high-touch involvement. Billed monthly, there are no term commitments or contracts.
My guarantee to you
If I don’t deliver the agreed-upon results, you don’t pay. No risk, no excuses, just accountability and outcomes.
