How did you find this website?
Eh, whatevs. While you're here, get to know me a little bit.
In case you care, here's how I got here...
Small town upbringing
Took a while to settle in

What's there to say? I grew up in a small town and went to a small private school in my small town. Graduated in a class of 3. Left and never looked back.

After finishing college in Florida (finishing = getting kicked out), I moved no less than 12 times and lived in 3 states:
- South Carolina - Go Cocks
- Virginia - Go... to the mountains?
- Wisconsin - Go DRINKING! (miss you Madison)
- Back to South Carolina

Career had some bumps
A lot of entrepreneurs are going to say that they always rose to the top of every organization they were a part of. That's not my story.
By the time I was 30, I had no idea what I wanted to be when I grew up. I knew that I had been a part of several startups, small businesses and major corporations and along the way and had been fired no
A lot of entrepreneurs are going to say that they always rose to the top of every organization they were a part of. That's not my story.
By the time I was 30, I had no idea what I wanted to be when I grew up. I knew that I had been a part of several startups, small businesses and major corporations and along the way and had been fired no less than 4 times.
Underlying my entire career experience was one single, prevailing thought: if I had the chance, I could totally do things my way and it would be better than all my idiot bosses along the way.
It was time to put up or shut up.
Still here? Then Here's what I'm up to Now...
Started my first company in 2021
Pretty exciting stuff! Well, to me anyway. What's the old saying? That it's better to regret the things you did than the things you didn't. Well it was time. Suddenly I was up there without a safety net! Luckily, Catalyst Consulting got off the ground with a handful of clients and just like that I was making a living, albeit a meager one, my way.
Started my 2nd company in 2022
Who was that golfer that said that "the more I practice the luckier I get?" (it was Gary Player. Thanks Google). Here was the real world example: 2022 came around, COVID was, by all appearances mostly over, and idea came to Anne Marie (my wonderful wife) and myself at a bar in Kilkenny, Ireland on our one year anniversary. We needed to take our experiences from working in the senior living industry, and the relationships we had forged, and create Senior Resource Specialists.
SRS happened because I was able to take those years of working for others and thinking I could do it better - and actually try to do it better.
Still Going, Still Growing
SRS continues to grow at a breakneck pace and it is both terrifying and humbling. The truth is that we don't get many chances in this life to both make a difference and living at the same time. As we continue to grow into new markets and bring on new partners, I can only hope that a lifetime of stubbornness can keep me fighting the good fight.
It's weird that you're still here... Since I'm pretty sure you're a stalker, here's some random pictures of me doing the things.
