About
An owner's mindset, applied at scale.
Entrepreneurial and results-driven executive with 20+ years of business ownership in merchant services and payment processing — merchant acquisition, underwriting, installations, ISO and agent channels and portfolio retention — plus fintech, SaaS, mortgage lending, merchant cash advance and SBA financing.
Merchant services is the core of my career. I founded, scaled and successfully sold Radiant Merchant Services — a nationwide merchant services organization I ran from strategy, pricing and P&L down to merchant acquisition, underwriting, installations, terminal and gateway deployment, service and retention. Before that I led national sales for merchant cash advance and SBA financing, and for 10 years I owned and operated MortgageCities, LLC — a nationwide mortgage company where I served as CEO. Lending has been a constant thread: mortgage origination and underwriting at volume, MCA and SBA financing.
I’m a top-performing originator and closer with deep expertise in merchant acquisition, ISO and agent partnerships, statement analysis and pricing, executive presentations, recruiting and team building. What ties it together is an ownership mindset: I lead with transparency, integrity and accountability, and I stay hands-on where the revenue actually happens.
Today my focus is bringing AI, SaaS and Fintech into merchant services — using automation and data to speed up boarding, sharpen pricing, cut attrition and give merchants and agents a real edge instead of another dashboard.

What I tell my teams
“Transparency is the cheapest performance tool a company will ever buy.”
“Ownership isn't a title. It's what you do at 5 a.m. when nobody is watching the numbers but you.”
“Never ask a team to run a play you aren't willing to run yourself on the phone.”
“Build the company you'd be proud to sell — then run it like you never will.”
“Relationships compound faster than revenue. Protect them like an asset, because they are one.”
