I build verticals that move culture and move numbers. P&L owner, supply architect, and founder with 10+ years at the intersection of commerce, community, and credibility.
I'm a category GM and marketplace operator who builds businesses at the intersection of culture, commerce, and community. My background spans corporate retail at scale — buying and managing categories worth hundreds of millions at Dollar Tree and Lidl — and entrepreneurial full-stack ownership as the founder of Literature & Libations, a culturally-driven retail brand in Norfolk, VA with a pop-up presence in Detroit.
What drives me is the belief that the best category businesses aren't built on spreadsheets alone — they're built on deep market fluency, supplier trust, and cultural credibility. I understand how supply, demand, and liquidity interact in two-sided markets. I know how to build a go-to-market playbook from scratch. And I know how to recruit the kinds of sellers and creators who set the tone for an entire platform.
Detroit is home. I'm building my presence there intentionally — through community, family, and the kind of commerce that reflects the city's identity. That's not a career footnote. It's a conviction.
Let's build something worth talking about.
Open to category leadership and GM opportunities — especially in apparel, streetwear, and culturally-driven marketplaces. Detroit-bound. Always building.
