In 2011, we moved our family from Miami, Florida to Shaker Heights for my job, President and Managing Partner of the Exacta Family of Survey Companies. That year, my business partners and I decided to move all of our back-end administration and operations from Miami, FL to downtown Cleveland.  After a year of renting in Shaker Heights, my family and I decided to make it our home.  We like to say we came for the job, but stayed for the people.  

After a total of 14 years with Exacta, in 2019, my business partners and I decided to sell.  Over that time, our operations grew from one employee to over 150 employees with many different contracted vendors.  While many important lessons were learned along the way, we also had a ton of fun.  It would be impossible to list all of the many innovations we achieved through our many years, but needless to say we were creative and broke the mold of the land survey companies who had come before us. 

After we sold the company, I found myself with an opportunity to focus on my own growth.  I enrolled in Case Western Reserve University’s Weatherhead Part Time MBA Program.  While there, I was able to meet some amazing leaders and teachers and hone my business and leadership skills.  Also in 2020, I invested in two companies: Generational Fittings and Mika Metal Fabricating.  Under our leadership, both companies have created value and experienced tremendous growth.  Currently, I sit on the board of Exacta Land Surveyors, LLC, and I am the Chairman of Generational Fittings and Mika Metal Fabricating.  While I’m engaged in the business metrics and leadership, my incredible partners run the day-to-day operations of our businesses.  Gratefully, I have time to focus on other passions.
