I love reading great business books—but I love helping authors create them even more. From Economics to Entrepreneurship My passion for business books started in high school when a Brazilian missionary lent me his tattered copy of Quest for the Best by Stanley Marcus. While my friends read fiction or played video games, I immersed myself in books on economics, entrepreneurs, and business titans. This led me to pursue: A degree in economics A master's in economic development, where I researched microfinance through fieldwork with Dominican loan sharks Real-World Business & Consulting Experience After grad school, I gained hands-on experience managing and consulting for businesses and nonprofits: Trained micro-entrepreneurs through an economic development organization Led a program that sheltered and supported teen mothers and their children Served as an in-house consultant for a $30M family business, launching new projects and managing a $2M company during a leadership crisis The Leap Into Writing & Publishing I co-founded an IT company—only to realize I wasn't an IT guy. After stepping away, the company thrived. Meanwhile, I started a copywriting side hustle, which soon became my full-time profession. A Dream Career in Business Book Writing One day, I met someone who wanted to write a business book. That moment changed everything. Over the past decade, I have: Worked with top business leaders and publishing professionals worldwide Trained ghostwriters from Argentina to Italy, helping them integrate entrepreneurship into their writing Now, my mission is clear: help business authors share their expertise with the world.
