ASNES

Pitched my way into college. Built a barbershop clientele from a dorm room. Taught myself to code. Now I'm at Google — and building. Austin, TX.

The Journey
THE
STORY
The Foundation

D1 Baseball

Grew up playing middle infield. Senior year of high school I picked up pitching — that arm got me a scholarship. Junior college, Tommy John surgery, then Florida Atlantic University.

The Side Hustle

The Barbershop

Taught myself to cut hair in high school from YouTube videos. Practiced on friends and family. By college I had a full baseball team to work on — then coaches, soccer, football. Joined a fraternity — then every other fraternity on campus, then other schools. By graduation, fully booked.

Early Career

Sales & The Pivot

First job out of school was selling insurance and investments. Wrong product, right fundamentals. Taught myself to code on the side. Wanted to be where technical and commercial decisions meet. First tech role at Miro, then pivoted into Google.

Google

Finding the Problem

Started in business development and inside sales. Found a passion for fixing internal inefficiencies tied to revenue. Led the design and build of an internal tool equivalent to 27 full-time employees. Took a process from 48 hours to under 47 seconds.

Now

Solutions Consultant

Pivoted into a Solutions Consultant role working in the Telecom division. Helping carriers navigate infrastructure modernization, data strategy, and AI adoption. Enrolled at UT McCombs — top 6 MBA program in the US — to build the business foundation to match the technical one.

On the Side

DemandForge

Co-founded DemandForge — a B2B lead generation agency focused on helping professional service firms build predictable outbound revenue. Built systems, ran campaigns, and delivered results for clients across multiple verticals.
