01 The foundation
My parents came here with nothing and spent twenty years building a business from the ground up.
I grew up helping at the store. It was where I learned what running a business actually looks like: long days, constant decisions, and a great deal of responsibility resting on one family.
02 The turning point
When the store burned down, it was devastating. We did not just lose a business. We lost something my dad had spent years building, and something that had been part of my life since I was a kid.
“I knew I did not want to simply recreate what we had lost. I wanted to build something stronger.”
03 The next chapter
Before starting ClarIQ, I advised private equity firms and banks, and worked alongside CFOs, bankers, and investors. I also spent years in AI, machine learning, and data analytics. I saw the level of financial insight and technology available to large organizations.
Most growing businesses never get access to those resources, even though the decisions they make can be just as important, and much more personal.
That is why I started ClarIQ: to make that expertise practical, useful, and easier to understand. Not to overwhelm owners with reports or jargon, but to help them read the numbers, make better decisions, and build businesses ready for what comes next.
