Partner at Finance Catalyst
CFO at Carlson Projects
Building for my children's children, with others doing the same.
I serve as a fractional CFO in Lincoln, Nebraska. I grew up on a small family farm south of Lincoln, always interested in business and fatherhood. From opening my first coffee shop at 19 to becoming a fractional CFO, my journey has been shaped by failure, learning, and a deep desire to build something lasting. Today, I provide fractional CFO services, organizational development consulting, and financial strategy to help people steward their resources well and create fulfilling, sustainable businesses through Finance Catalyst, Leadership Catalyst, and Carlson Projects.
Philosophy
“The impediment to action is the catalyst to action.”
I believe every obstacle you face is an opportunity to innovate. My mission is to help business owners turn financial obstacles into launchpads for growth, improving the future for their families, teams, and others.
