Our journey started first with the Ask Valor Masterminds group page on Facebook. The purpose of the group is to bring business owners together from all industries to talk with each other about topics like Marketing (in general), Online Marketing, SEO, Social Media, Videos, Business Plans, Accounting, Bookkeeping, Cybersecurity, Business Law, and other topics they’d want to talk about and share tips with one another.
That was the impetus for our #AskValorMasterminds podcast being born. The goal is to bring on guest speakers to talk about different topics related to business and for the guest speakers to share their knowledge. Our guests share their expertise and/or perspectives to uplift our audience and us. Now, more than ever, we feel partnerships are essential to become better entrepreneurs, better business people. We look forward to bringing on guest speakers that will share some tips to help you with your business.

My teams have won dozens of marketing awards including PromaxBDA Sports Marketing Awards and Clios. I’ve built a reputation as an exemplary partner to development teams, and a leader who highly values data, but appropriately draws from a strong understanding of fundamentals from console, mobile, tabletop, Web3 and real money gaming.
Retired from traditional corporate roles, I now advise a wide variety of companies that pique my interests and passion for sports, video gaming, real money gaming and support for the military.
