Mid‑market capital markets rigor and founder‑operator experience, turned into transaction‑ready assets for the moments that decide a company.

His career began inside Robert W. Baird's leadership rotational development program, at one of the country's premier middle-market investment banks and a firm consistently recognized by Fortune among the 100 Best Companies to Work For. The program placed him across more than twenty institutional functions, giving him a systemic understanding of how premier financial institutions operate across divisions, from investment banking and fixed income to fund management, private equity, private wealth, operations, research and business development.

He then led business development and strategy for a $250 million private wealth book of business. Building the cross-border investment networks that fueled that book's growth gave him a direct view into how capital moves, how sophisticated institutions make decisions, and how institutional-quality materials must be structured to guide clients into new territory.

He went on to serve as CEO of an investor-backed global technology platform before founding Artem Strategies, where his documentation and financial logic have supported more than $160 million in capital raised and contributed to over $2.7 billion in aggregate enterprise value, including two fintech platforms valued above $1 billion. He holds an MBA from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, a degree in International Business and Marketing from Marquette University, and completed the Certified Financial Planner examination requirement at Northwestern University.

He owns the product and engineering roadmap end to end, using AI agents to accelerate development and tighten execution while holding the platform to an institutional standard of security, reliability and quality. His focus is the experience clients depend on most: data-driven tools, refined continuously and built to perform when the stakes are highest.

He served five years in the U.S. Navy as an Electrician's Mate Third Class aboard an aircraft carrier deployed in support of operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, maintaining the flight deck lighting system at a functionality rate of at least 97 percent to enable safe nighttime takeoffs and landings under wartime conditions. His service was recognized with the National Defense Service Medal, the Global War on Terrorism Expeditionary Medal, the Global War on Terrorism Service Medal and the Sea Service Deployment Ribbon, and it instilled the discipline, ownership and accountability that guide how he builds systems today.

He remains committed to applying technology in ways that benefit both businesses and communities, particularly service members and their families. He holds a Master of Science in Digital Audience Strategy from the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication at Arizona State University and a Bachelor of Arts in Business, Sustainability, from the W. P. Carey School of Business at Arizona State University, and completed the Deep Dive Coding Bootcamp at Central New Mexico Community College.
