About Me
Founder & CEO of Homenerds, Creator of the Nerd Portal, and Founder of The Forged Collective. I’ve spent the last 18 years in the trenches of direct sales—12 of those in the solar industry. I started on the doors in NY and now live in Miami Beach, continuing a mission that’s grown far beyond commissions and contracts. I’ve sold across the country, led national teams in cable, home security, and ultimately solar - where I found my calling in 2013 with SolarCity, reporting directly to Lyndon and Peter Rive. That era shaped everything. We scaled our region to over 1,000 reps and installed hundreds of MWs. I’ll always credit those years as the foundation of my business acumen. In 2020, I founded Homenerds, a solar sales organization rooted in the belief: Give people more than they expect. We’re on a mission to be a disruptive force against outdated utility structures while developing future leaders in the process. I also created The Nerd Portal, a complete sales operating system designed to streamline the modern rep’s day. From canvassing and contract signing to training, pay tracking, and CRM, it’s built to simplify and scale success. Whether you’re an individual rep or an enterprise team, the Nerd Portal helps you close more deals, stay compliant, and operate at a higher level. In 2022, I was honored to carry on the legacy of my mentor, Tom Hopkins, acquiring his company and preserving his life’s work in sales mastery. If you know “How to Master the Art of Selling,” you know the standard we uphold. But this next chapter runs deeper. I launched The Forged Collective, a movement for men ready to do the inner work—through community, challenge, and connection. I host immersive men’s retreats and facilitate transformational experiences rooted in leadership, healing, and purpose. From mountain trails to late-night fire circles, we do the work most men avoid, so we can show up as the men this world desperately needs. My mission today is clear: Build tools that empower, communities that heal, and legacies that last. Whether you’re a new rep trying to break into sales, a seasoned closer stuck on a plateau, or a business owner ready to scale through solar I’m here to help you compress time, avoid pitfalls, and level up. People say there are no shortcuts. I say proximity is the shortcut. Let’s connect.
