The comeback is the product.

I wish you knew how bad I want this.

Not for me. This was never about me. It was never about the money.

It's about the kids. It's about the people out there right now — suffering in silence, convinced nobody's coming for them.

For years I thought I had it bad. The bankruptcies. The evictions. The nights I'm still not sure how I survived. I carried all of it like it was the heaviest weight a man could hold.

Then I learned the one thing that changed everything:

Built to get back up.

I've been a competitor my entire life. I was the first commit of my recruiting class to the University of Utah, where I played Division I football — 6'5", built to hit, built to get back up.

Football taught me the only thing that has ever actually worked for me: systems win. Discipline wins. Showing up when it hurts wins. Talent is just the ticket in — the system is what carries you the other twenty years.

I took that lesson into business and never let go of it.

Twenty years of building the machine.

For two decades my wife Jessica and I have built companies together — from a long-running local business to marketing systems that generated seven figures and put us on stages in front of thousands of people.

My mantra never changed: systems make money. Build it once, refine it, and let it run. That belief made us successful. It also set up the hardest lesson of my life — because a system you love can still be taken from you overnight.

And then it all came down. Not once. Twice.

In 2023, our home made my family violently sick and nearly took us. We lost everything we owned — all of it gone. With nowhere to go, we slept on a cement garage floor for three weeks with our boys.

I rebuilt. And a year later, a flood took it all again. This time we were bouncing between motels with a newborn — and my father was in the ICU, fighting cancer.

I wasn't racing to rebuild for a trophy. I was racing so my dad could watch me stand back up before he was gone.

The rebuild became the whole thesis.

Every single time I hit the floor, I heard the same voice: someone out there has it worse than you — and you're holding the exact thing that could pull them out.

So I got up. Again. And I built the thing I wish I'd had when I was at the bottom — a system that does the hardest part for you, so the people whose work actually changes lives can reach the people who are still waiting to be saved.

That became Rooster AI Agents: an AI sales team that texts, follows up, and books leads 24/7 — so a founder never loses the person who reached out at 2 a.m. because nobody answered.

Clinics. Recovery centers. Retreats. Med spas. The businesses that pull people out of the dark — I make sure the people searching for them in the middle of the night actually find them.

Because when a recovery center fills its beds, somebody's kid comes home. When a clinic grows, somebody stops suffering. That's the multiplier I live for: I win when the people who help others can help more of them.

I wish you knew how bad I want this. Now you do. Let's go to work.
