I'm a startup guy

When I business, I business with the best of them. I focus on product management, finance, design, and software development. I’m also a futurist with a passion for career education and helping the non-wealthy create generational wealth.

About Me

Jack of all Trades, Master of Some

I started my career in the investment industry in 2008, spending four years helping the rich get richer. At Rochdale, I spent over three years working for a partner to help bring in 100+ accounts that averaged $2MM. Rochdale was bought by City National Bank and I attended Harvard Business School.

Today, I’m an entrepreneur, particularly focused on helping the non-rich get richer. I’ve designed, built, and launched 10+ mobile and web apps from scratch, including one that has generated 50K+ users and over $250K in revenue. I’ve led product management at several companies. I’ve also published books and courses.

Testimonials

I’ve got backers homie.

Creighton was instrumental as we partnered to more effectively place non-traditional interns. We had weekly meetings for years where we would cover everything from fixing bugs to strategies and tactics. Our team was also impressed with the speed at which Creighton designed and built new features, and at which bugs were fixed. I later co-authored the book “How to Optimize Work-Based Learning After COVID-19” with Creighton.

I’ve worked with Creighton as a teammate at the same company, and then we later collaborated on three separate software projects. Creighton continuously impressed me with the breadth and depth of his knowledge on all things finance, product management, and UX/UI design.

Creighton has worked for me in 2009. Creighton has consistently gone above and beyond to ensure the projects I assigned him were completed well. He was resourceful in finding multiple ways to look at a problem, and crafting a creative solution that exceeded expectations. As an executive, I would recommend hiring Creighton to help take your business to the next level.
