Run by Family

The Mission Chapel

An elopement-style wedding chapel I founded in Cave Creek, Arizona — Las Vegas vibes meets the Wild West. A streamlined, affordable alternative to the courthouse for second marriages, intimate ceremonies, and couples who just want to say "I do" without the fuss. Now run by family.

Past Ventures

Businesses I've built, scaled, and exited over the years

Exited

911 OccMed

2020-2023

When COVID hit, I pivoted my drug testing clinics into a full-scale vaccination and occupational medicine operation. At our peak, we vaccinated 800 people per day with contracts from Maricopa County and the State of Arizona. Featured in AZ Central and Phoenix Business Journal for our rapid response.

Transitioned

911 Drug Testing

2015-2020

Built and operated multiple drug testing clinics serving transportation fleets across Arizona. When COVID hit, we pivoted the entire operation into 911 OccMed.

Exited

National Public Information Company (NPIC)

Early 2000s

Public records company built before databases were connected by the internet. We gathered sexual predator databases by hand. Courthouses were still searched by foot. This was real boots-on-the-ground data work — loading physical records into SQL databases and making them searchable the hard way.

IPO

Internet Access Group

1999

Dial-up internet service provider that went public in 1999. This is where I learned networking, routers, racks, and infrastructure from the ground up. I was in rooms discussing "shopping carts" and "online malls" before Amazon existed, back when Netscape ruled and you bought software on disks at CompUSA.
