My Story
I’m currently a financial analyst at a fast-growing IT company — one that’s navigating the very real challenges of scaling, structuring, and staying strategic through growth. Being part of this journey has shown me something that many founders don’t always realize:
Growth can create complexity, and complexity without clarity can slow you down.
As I’ve worked through financial forecasting, performance analysis, and strategic planning, I’ve noticed consistent patterns — not just in our business, but in many small businesses I’ve come across:
-
The numbers are there, but they’re not always telling a clear story.
-
Decisions are being made from gut feel instead of data.
-
Tools are underutilized, and reporting is reactive instead of proactive.
I was born and raised in San Antonio, and after earning my finance degree from Texas A&M University — where I also met my wife — I came back home to build my career here. While working full-time, I’ve been completing my MBA with a focus on entrepreneurship, and through that process, I realized I didn’t just want to analyze numbers — I wanted to help people use them to grow better businesses.
That’s where Power BI came in.
What started as a tool quickly became a passion. I fell in love with turning disconnected data into dashboards that actually made people feel more in control of their decisions. Unlike many in finance, I don’t just crunch numbers — I build visual systems that help founders lead with confidence.
So I launched this business to offer something small business owners often don’t have access to:
-
Custom-built dashboards tailored to your business
-
Monthly insights that help you make smarter moves
-
A trusted partner who understands both the numbers and the bigger picture
If you’re growing and want to truly understand what’s driving your business, I’d love to help.
