For eight years I was a pipefitter and welder in Northern Canada’s oilfields, running crews of 100 to 150 men building gas plants and pipelines. It was a volatile business — feast or famine. You were either eating well or you weren’t eating at all.

In 2015 the oilfield crashed — with my daughter on the way. I had to find a more stable way to control my income. So I started reading: The 10X Rule first, then into Grant Cardone’s world, then paying for coaches and teaching myself lead generation, marketing, branding, and web development. I built an agency serving the contractors and real-estate pros I’d worked alongside.

Flipping digital businesses was the natural next step: buy the asset, rebuild the operations, sell the upside. I wrote Unlimited Sellers Guide, co-created the Buying Beast sourcing method with Andrew Baldwin out of Alberta, and co-founded Prime Acquisitions Group — an AI-and-technology-first M&A team.

I don’t do it alone. My partners bring operating depth — Hung Nguyen has operated 50+ companies and scales businesses from six figures to multiple eight figures, and Anthony spent 25 years across AIG, Munich Re, and PE-backed finance leadership. Through Xcept AI, where I’m co-owner, we build the AI systems that power our deal flow.
