Serial entrepreneur with multiple successful attempts and even more unsuccessful attempts. Philosophy education and background in military leadership. Passion for impacting the world through community founding. Proven business and non-profit leader.
I am the sole founder of a construction and real estate development company focused on improving the built environment by designing and building residential neighborhoods with four key principles: Community, Corporeal Good, Beauty, and Durability. Our New Urbanist design elements combined with community homestead/farm-to-table elements provide the basis for Shire Group's urban planning. Our signature custom-built structural stone houses ensure the unmatched beauty and durability of our neighborhoods.
I led a group of men to establish a non-profit called the Brotherhood of Saint Joseph with the sponsorship of Anchor Group and, later, Shire Group. The Brotherhood is a lay, Catholic, fraternal community which commits to a shared life of prayer, work, formation, and brotherly aid. My businesses serve as hosts to the Brotherhood, allowing and enabling the members that are employed at my businesses to participate in the daily life of prayer, work, and formation.
