About

I build fintech companies and mentor people who want more from their lives and careers. I’m the Founder & CEO of Blueswipe, where we help software companies and healthcare platforms turn payments into scalable profit centers through embedded payments and PayFac-Lite models. Over the last decade, I’ve built companies in the financial technology space—working with platforms, provider groups, and financial institutions to simplify payments, own the customer relationship, and monetize the flow of money inside their ecosystems. Alongside building companies, I mentor driven professionals—often early in their careers—who know they’re capable of more than a traditional 9-to-5. My focus is on life, leadership, and business fundamentals that create optionality, freedom, and long-term impact. I’m passionate about fitness, lifestyle design, faith, and using entrepreneurship as a vehicle to positively influence families, communities, and future leaders. 📍 Richmond, Virginia 📩 Open to conversations around embedded payments, fintech partnerships, and mentorship
