Confession: I’m more builder than deal chaser.
Some people love the chase in business. They get energy from modeling, offers, and running down dozens of opportunities.
This has never been me.
I’m wired to build. I’ve already owned and scaled a franchise, which taught me a lot about growth, systems, and leadership. And after spending years in the C-suite of a national company, I know what it looks like to lead teams at scale.
Earlier this year I even wrote a full business plan for a medical aesthetics startup. When I ran the numbers, I realized it didn’t make financial sense to start completely from scratch. So my plan is to start with one strong location, whether through acquisition or launch, and grow from there.
What excites me is everything after that point:
Building teams.
Developing people who bring ideas to life.
Setting big goals and reaching them together.
Creating client experiences that feel elevated and consistent.
Making work feel exciting instead of exhausting.
That is where transformation happens. In people, in culture, and in service.
If you know anyone in medical aesthetics in Northern or Central Virginia who is considering a transition or thinking about long-term plans, I’d love to connect.
First comes the foundation.
Then, we build.
