Hospitality • Global Business • Trusted Perspective
Some people build things.
Some people connect worlds.
A few do both — quietly and well.

Some people connect worlds.
A few do both — quietly and well.
I own The Daily Buzz in downtown Birmingham — a place built on community, conversation, and consistency.
I also own and operate boutique bed & breakfasts in the mountains of Brazil, downtown São Paulo, and Oxford, Mississippi — where football weekends are their own economy.
In parallel, I serve as the North American Business Developer for Ruby, a New Zealand–based software and cryptocurrency company.
Creating cafés and stays where people feel grounded, welcome, and taken care of.
Helping companies translate strong ideas across borders, markets, and cultures — especially between North America, Oceania, and Latin America.
Acting as a trusted partner for founders, operators, and investors who value clarity, discretion, and momentum.
Hospitality teaches you how people really move through the world.
Business teaches you how systems scale.
International work teaches you how context matters.
Understanding the people, the place, and the pressure points.
Grounded plans that respect culture, capital, and timing.
Quiet follow-through, consistent communication, real results.
I've operated businesses where the margin for error is small.
I've worked across countries where assumptions fail fast.
I'm comfortable in boardrooms and on café floors — and bridging the two.
Good businesses don't just scale. They travel — across cultures, markets, and moments. That's the work I do.
