From Business Strategy to Execution, I can help you achieve your business goals faster.
There are challenges at every twist and turn. Whether you’re a first time entrepreneur or simply a swamped business owner, you need strategic support.
Knowing what is the priority is often unclear with so many things that need done, especially if you’ve never built a business before.
Dedicated employees and Agencies cost far more than an early stage business can afford. But you still need to get everything done.
What platform should be used? How should it be structured? How will it generate ROI? What marketing tools should be integrated?
Without a strong understanding of your business model and financial forecast, it’s impossible to plan appropriately for growth.
The people around you typically don’t have any clue about what you’re doing, or why. Building a business can feel very lonely at times.
With so many competing priorities and so much to learn, all on top of simply living life, making real progress can feel beyond overwhelming.
My superpower is Jack-of-All-Trades, so I view a business from top to bottom, big picture AND details. With my 14+ years of in-the-trenches entrepreneurial experience, I connect dots that others can’t.
Being both the owner AND operator is something few can relate to. I’ve had to make LOTS of decisions with my own livelihood on the line. As a business leader since 2012, I’ve been privileged to see some incredible successes.
A decade and a half of building, growing, and operating businesses has taught me a lot. I’ve worn every hat from front line labor all the way up to CEO. I can help you get where you want to go faster and with fewer headaches.
While one of my true passions is early stage businesses-building, it’s admittedly not the ONLY thing I like to do 😉
I’m a builder at heart. A creative problem solver who thrives where vision meets execution. After founding and scaling Conquest Maps into a 4× Inc. 5000 company, I realized my real strength isn’t in any single specialty, but in connecting the dots across all of them. Today, I help early-stage entrepreneurs navigate uncertainty, build momentum, and turn great ideas into real, working businesses. My goal is simple: eliminate overwhelm, create clarity, and help people make meaningful progress.
My entrepreneurial journey began long before I knew the word “entrepreneur.” I grew up exploring the outdoors, tinkering, solving problems, and saying yes to new experiences. That curiosity eventually carried me through adventures around the world, into industrial design, and ultimately into building Conquest Maps from nothing more than a personal need, $500 in materials, and a relentless desire to create something better.
What started in my apartment as late nights researching, stretching canvas by hand, and shipping maps in scavenged boxes eventually grew into a nationally recognized multi-million dollar brand that helped over 125,000 travelers celebrate their stories. And while I’m proud of the accolades, what mattered most was everything I learned along the way: how markets shift, how to recover from mistakes, how to lead people, how to build systems that actually work, and how to keep going when things get messy. Because they always do.
I’ve been through hiring the wrong people, buying the wrong equipment, wasting money on bad ideas, and digging myself out of holes I created. But those challenges gave me something invaluable: experiential wisdom. The kind that only comes from doing the work, failing forward, and building again.
Today, after successfully exiting my company, I use all of that experience to partner with founders who have the vision, expertise, or big idea, but need someone who understands the business side deeply. Whether they’re overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to start, my role is to bring structure, clarity, and momentum. I create the plan, build the systems, solve the problems, and help them move confidently toward their goals.
This next chapter excites me more than anything I’ve done so far. I love the early stage… the scrappy, creative, full-of-possibility stage. I’ve lived it while raising a family, learning on the fly, and building from the ground up. Now, I get to help others do the same and reach their potential with the ideas they believe in.
I’ve known Ross for more than five years, and it’s no surprise that the company he built in his living room (Conquest Maps) grew into a top-tier, multi-million dollar business. Ross brings exceptional strengths in product design, strategic thinking, digital marketing, and operational execution, especially in the manufacturing and e-commerce spaces. He leads with clarity, integrity, and determination, and he never backs down from a challenge. Working with Ross has consistently elevated my own thinking as a founder. Any business looking to grow, refine its strategy, or execute at a higher level would be fortunate to have Ross in their corner.
Even in the face of marketplace and personal obstacles, Ross’s journey to pursue his vision to make the world a more tolerant and inclusive place has been a joy to watch. From identifying a gap in the market, to filling that void with his own invention, to taking the leap to quit his job to start a business at a time he was just starting a family, to weathering many emotional and financial risks with tenacity and humility, Ross embodies every aspect of the quintessential entrepreneur. His curious mind and thirst for learning compels him to drive growth in himself, in his team, and in any project he undertakes.
I’ve known Ross since 2017 as both a peer in our ecommerce mastermind and as a service provider for his company, Conquest Maps. I’ve had a front-row seat watching him take a business from a few thousand in monthly revenue to making the Inc. 5000 list four years in a row. Ross is a rare asset to any founder; he is grounded, incredibly smart, and relentlessly focused. He approaches building businesses with a unique mix of ‘can-do’ attitude and strategic precision. If you are looking to start or scale a business, Ross has the blueprint and the integrity to help you get there.
Working with Ross has genuinely changed the way my business runs. He helped me rebuild the pieces I’d been struggling with…a strategy grounded in measurable data, my website, my financial setup, and a marketing plan that actually fits how I work! Because of his support, things are growing, people are buying, and I feel clearer and more energized about my business than I have in a long time. If you’re ready to turn your ideas into real momentum, Ross has the remarkable skillset to get you out of the weeds.
