From Entrepreneurship to ADHD Advocate
AN UNCONVENTIONAL JOURNEY OF PASSION, CHALLENGES, AND DISCOVERY

I’m a proud father, husband, and Red River Métis Citizen. My journey as an entrepreneur and ADHD advocate has been one of diverse experiences and unwavering passion. Over the years, I’ve founded the marketing agency Vantage, ventured into hospitality with A Little Pizza Heaven and The Goodwill Social Club, and supported local artisans through Made Here, a local gift shop that is now owned and operated by my incredible wife.

My career is a mosaic of passion-driven projects, each one a reflection of my dedication to community and creativity. From the bustling energy of marketing and hospitality to the serene satisfaction of helping local artisans thrive, my work embodies both the vibrant chaos and grounded order of entrepreneurial life.

Championing Neurodiverse Entrepreneurs

I was diagnosed with ADHD later in life, which has profoundly shaped my approach to both business and mentorship. Understanding that success is not a one-size-fits-all journey, I’ve made it my mission to support entrepreneurs by providing tailored resources that address their unique needs and challenges. My goal is to empower neurodiverse individuals on their entrepreneurial paths, offering guidance that fosters growth and resilience.

Redefining Success

My entrepreneurial journey has been marked by growth, uncertainty, and deep learning. One of the projects closest to my heart is Made Here, a local retail outlet I launched in 2018. It was more than just a business—it was a platform for local artisans and a way to give back to the community, raising $20,000 for children’s charities in its first year. However, like many entrepreneurs, I faced challenges I hadn’t anticipated, from natural disasters to global crises.

By 2022, the future of Made Here felt uncertain. That’s when my wife, who had been part of the Vantage team, took the reins. Watching her rebuild and reshape the business taught me a profound lesson: every entrepreneur faces their own unique hurdles, and no two journeys are the same. This experience highlighted the importance of individualized mentorship and resources, especially for those of us who think and learn differently.

A Tailored Approach to Business Growth

In a world filled with endless choices, decision-making can feel overwhelming—especially for budding entrepreneurs. The paradox of choice often leads to paralysis, making it difficult to take that first step. That’s why I believe in offering personalized mentorship that addresses individual challenges. Every entrepreneur’s path is different, and success lies in understanding those differences and catering to them.

Whether you’re navigating the complexities of entrepreneurship or seeking guidance as a neurodiverse individual, I’m here to help you carve out your own path to success—one that fits your unique strengths and aspirations.
