Hi there! I’m glad you stopped by. This site is all about the things we can do together - the things I’m passionate about, and hopefully that passion can help and inspire you.

Whether you’re here to learn more about my professional expertise in payments, woodworking, radio, or even gaming or you just want to explore creative things, you’re in the right place.

No sales pitches, no pressure, just conversations

With over 30 years in the payment industry, helping both large and mid-sized businesses navigate the complexities of payment acceptance it's all about SOLVING PROBELMS, and we have a FULL WEBSITE just for that. But (as you'll learn) it's about so much more than that.

Do you want to OPTIMIZE your payment model?  Are you looking to LOWER your FEES? How about EXPAND your MARKET? For companies under $1 billion in total sales volume that's what it's all about. If you're a business looking for strategic insights on card-based payment processing, you’ll want to check out the website home dedicated to that HERE.

Beyond working in payments, it's about sharing knowledge, whether through professional sales leadership training, speaking engagements on topics that impact both companies AND their employees. If you’re looking for someone to break down complex topics into actionable insights, I’d love to connect!

The PAYMENTS INDUSTRY it's more than what I've done for over 30 years, it's WHO I AM! The "work-a-day" part of my life has been devoted to the payment industry for a LONG time now, teaching about it, coaching in it and leading professionals in it, and now, sharing what I've learned about it with a wider audience.

Sometimes what I say is a little RAW, but it's always the truth. Join me on a journey about payments at my payments focused site HERE where you can also sign up for my monthly newsletter which is FULL of useful insights.

Beyond digital experiences, I’ve been an avid Woodworker since I was 14. I take pride in building custom pieces for a wide range of discerning clients, combining craftsmanship with a keen eye for detail. Whether it’s a bespoke furniture piece or a unique design challenge, I love bringing ideas to life with my hands and have a lifetime worth of tools to aid in those creations.

I love Music, especially curating themed playlists (Classic ROCK radio show, anyone?). If you’re into beats, rhythm, and high-energy vibes, check out Basix Broadcasting. I have owned an internet radio station since 2020 (COVID inspired) and now we're doing curated SPOTIFY playlists.

Gaming is another major passion of mine. I am an avid ArmA military simulator clan leader, leading tactical operations with precision and strategy. As a real pilot and a huge flight simulator enthusiast, I run multiple servers and Discord communities dedicated to immersive aviation experiences. If you’re into high-fidelity simulation gaming or military strategy, we should definitely connect.

I also enjoy diving into Social Media discussions, challenging business owners with thought-provoking questions, and crafting content that helps people see things in a new light. If you’re interested in social media insights, personal reflections, or just engaging conversations, stick around!
