Chief Mission Officer at 8th Ascent™
As the founder of 8th Ascent™, I created a unique system from real world USAF Fighter Jet world experience. I anlong with most veterans thrive in disciplined, systems-driven environments where execution mattered and results were expected. My background shaped how I approach business: structure first, clarity always, and accountability throughout.
After transitioning into entrepreneurship, I saw a clear problem. Veterans were being encouraged to start businesses without a roadmap, without sequencing, and without support once the motivation faded. I didn’t need more inspiration. I needed structure. So I built the system I couldn’t find.
8th Ascent™ is grounded in three core values I live by: Integrity First, Service Before Self, and Excellence in All We Do. Those values guide how we design our programs, support our clients, and hold ourselves to a higher standard.
My vision is to build more than a program. I’m building an ecosystem that provides veterans with structured business execution systems, real accountability, and meaningful networking so effort turns into ownership, stability, and long-term legacy.
Our commitment is simple: clear missions, real deliverables, and execution that works.
