One node, six load paths
I came out of civil and structural engineering, so this is how I see the ecosystem: a center node and the paths that carry load out to each brand.

About
Engineering, applied to businesses
I came up through civil and structural engineering and biomechanics. That training is the whole method: find the load path, find the failure mode, then design something that holds without heroics. Today I run Texas Movement International as founder and president, and the engineering habit is still the product.
Current focus is Texas Movement Consulting — AI-powered operating systems for founders who are the bottleneck in their own company — alongside scaling Hero Footwear's track line, Texas Movement Media, and the performance vertical.
Chicago is home base. Operator, builder, athlete mindset. Everything on this site is either something I ship or something my team ships.
