Speaker Bio
I'm a serial entrepreneur who has started, scaled, and exited multiple companies across the service economy. As Executive Director of Shamrock Roofing & Construction, one of the fastest-growing roofing companies in the country, with 10+ locations and hundreds of employees, I've focused on building the corporate structure, governance, and culture behind a business known equally for execution and for taking care of its people. I'm also the Co-Founder of Trussi.AI, an AI-powered operating system designed to give service businesses the decision speed and intelligence of a Fortune 500 without the overhead. It's a platform shaped directly by the operational lessons I've learned running large field-service teams in the real world. My leadership philosophy is rooted in servant leadership and an "invest in people" approach. I credit my success to building and empowering teams of talented, ambitious people aligned around a shared vision, and to surrounding myself with masterminds whose strengths complement my own. That approach has produced not just growth, but trust, from employees, partners, building owners, property managers, and homeowners alike. Outside the boardroom, I founded Roofs4Heroes, a nonprofit that helps struggling veterans and first responders secure transportation and a roof over their heads. I'm also an active member of Cars4Heroes and Friends of Service Heroes. As a father, I'm committed to raising my children with discipline, faith, and a deep belief in the value of hard work. My journey has included as many setbacks as triumphs. I'm currently awaiting a heart transplant following acute heart failure caused by an airborne virus, a fight I'm approaching with the same tenacity that has defined my career. I continue to lead, build, and serve, drawing strength from my family, my faith, and the community I've spent a lifetime investing in.
