About

I was born and raised in Phoenix, AZ, and I've spent my whole career being the person who notices when something's broken and can't quite walk past it. That instinct took me from Arizona State's engineering program to various Aerospace and Defense companies, including Blue Origin, where I managed 100+ BE-4 components in one of the most demanding, detail-obsessed environments imaginable. That experience later carried me into real estate, pool service, and creative businesses, fixing the same kinds of gaps in very different settings.

The Coldiron Hour started out as a podcast in 2020, but really got its start with a conversation I wasn't expecting. A coworker asked if I could help a friend of hers with his business. I asked, "With what, exactly?" She said, "The same thing you did for our company. He needs your help fixing his systems." That was 2024, and it was the moment I realized the thing I'd been doing instinctively for years, optimizing operations, documenting what nobody had written down, building structure where there wasn't any, was actually something business owners everywhere needed and didn't know how to ask for by name.

I'm not interested in handing you a binder of theory and disappearing. I get in the weeds with you, the same way I did for my first client in 2024, and the same way I do for every client today, whether you're a business owner here in the greater Phoenix area or somewhere else entirely.
