Founder, Rising Senior | Managing Partner, FutureCount Holdings LLC | College-to-career launch support for families

About

I lead FutureCount Holdings LLC, the operating company behind Rising Senior and selected FutureCount advisory work. My current focus is Rising Senior, a family-centric SaaS and coaching platform for families, students, and coaches navigating the transition from college into employability, independence, and adult life. Families are investing heavily in college while increasingly unsure whether students are building real momentum toward launch after graduation. Rising Senior is designed to give that conversation more structure: goals, evidence, risks, coach guidance, and next steps that can be seen and acted on before senior year becomes a crisis. Before FutureCount, I spent many years as a partner and managing director in accounting, advisory, consulting, and technology services firms, building advisory practices and working with leadership teams on strategy, transformation, and growth. I am interested in product-led services, practical AI, coach-in-the-loop systems, and businesses that turn fragmented expertise into value-generating businesses.
