I’m a passionate entrepreneur who loves to create and grow businesses that solve real-world problems and add value to people’s lives. I own Cinch IT, a computer support company that provides fast, reliable, and affordable IT solutions to small and medium-sized businesses. Cinch IT has grown to become one of the leading IT service providers offering franchise opportunities across the United States.
I’m also the founder and owner of Soccer Asylum, a soccer training and development company that offers year-round programs for players of all ages and skill levels. Soccer Asylum was born out of my love for the game and my desire to share my knowledge and experience with the next generation of soccer players. This sports performance center offers indoor turf field, soccer training, a full-member strength gym, interactive sports video game training, and a full bar. It is a family center providing options for each family member so that they can maximize their time together.
