At ROVYREN, I built a cybersecurity assessment business for trade-business owners, including assessments, service packages, and customer-facing processes. I also built the website and Meta ads and tracked leads across Google Business Profile, Google Ads, Facebook, and Instagram.

At GLADIATOR SERVICES / JD Hodges Plumbing & Mechanical, I founded and grew a plumbing, HVAC, drain cleaning, and fire sprinkler business to $1.8 million in annual revenue and 11 employees at peak, then sold it while retaining an equity interest. I created company-wide KPIs and operating systems, automated workflows, and built pricing and cost calculators; earlier, I completed a 20-year career in frontline firefighting and emergency response with FDNY.
