Who I am.
I'm a builder. Businesses, teams, brands, systems. Over 20 years of it, in a lot of different rooms. Founder and principal. Operator by trade.
The work has taken me across the intersection of sales, marketing, and media. International wholesale, executive negotiations, time inside TikTok and Google, six years running my own agency. One thread running through much of it: building brands with creators, ambassadors, and community alongside the rest of the operator work. The pattern recognition across that range is the actual work.
What I do now is help businesses grow. Sometimes that's stepping in as the operator behind a creator who's outgrown DIY. That's Davis Myrgren Media. Sometimes it's running a strategy or growth function for a company at an inflection point. Different shapes, same job: build the business so the talent can stay the talent.
Outside the business, the bigger project is home. Building a company that scales without asking me to disappear from the rest of my life. That's the harder problem, and the one I'm most focused on solving.
Training has always been the anchor: team sports built the foundation, and now it's the disciplines that get tougher when no one's watching: the gym, the marathon, the long solo miles. The body teaches what spreadsheets can't: consistency beats intensity, resilience is built in the unglamorous reps, and nothing real compounds without showing up tomorrow too.
My philosophy is simple: substance over show, systems over hustle, depth over noise. Being loud is easy. Being ready is the work.
