What I'm Building
Three companies across three industries — each solving a real problem with smart systems and relentless execution.
R&R Integrity Services
Built Rise & Rotate from concept to commercialization — a patented, FDA-listed assistive transfer device designed to help patients at risk of falling move safely between a bed and a chair. Co-invented with my stepfather, then pitched it from NSU's Inferno Pitch to winning the inaugural Pelican Cup.
Oversaw everything: product development, FDA Class I clearance, utility patent, manufacturing coordination, competition strategy, and early-stage commercialization. Currently pursuing Class II clearance to expand into broader healthcare markets.
Collins & Gamble
Co-founded with Ethan Collins — a consulting and influencer management firm that helps Amazon creators scale their storefronts, land brand partnerships, and automate content pipelines using AI. Scaled a global support team to manage client workflows efficiently.
BoxDrop Beaumont
Built a revenue-generating retail mattress outlet under a national brand framework — with consistent margins, repeat customer growth, and lean operations. Designed local marketing and customer engagement strategies from scratch.

Track Record
Founded R&R Integrity Services
Co-designed Rise & Rotate with my stepfather — an assistive transfer device for patients at risk of falling. Most people were choosing a major. I was filing a patent and figuring out FDA regulatory pathways.
Co-Founded Collins & Gamble
Saw the creator economy exploding and moved fast. Built an AI-powered consulting firm with Ethan Collins while juggling a full course load at Northwestern State. Scaled a global support team.
Won $3,000 First Prize — Qualified for State
Pitched Rise & Rotate at NSU's Inferno Pitch competition and won first place. Earned $3,000 and qualified to compete in the statewide Pelican Cup — Louisiana's premier business plan competition.
Won Louisiana's Inaugural Pelican Cup — $25,000
Led the team (with Hayden Stanley and Alexander Brown, advised by Dr. Elizabeth Prejean) that won the inaugural Entrepreneurship Pelican Cup at ULM — taking home the $25,000 first-place prize. Featured in 318 Forum, KLAX-TV, 318Central, and NSU press.
Graduated — Already Running Two Companies
Earned a BBA in Business Administration from NSU. VP of the Student Advisory & Outreach Board, Treasurer of NSU Esports, Recruitment Committee member. But the real education was the two companies I was already operating.
Selected for Startup Prize: Focus on Health
Joined Gregory Kallenberg's Startup Prize program — connecting with world-class industry professionals, mentors, and fellow innovators in healthcare. Pitched Rise & Rotate alongside founders building across industries.
Invited Back as Inferno Pitch Judge
Returned to NSU — not as a competitor, but as a judge. Evaluated the next generation of student entrepreneurs at the 2025 Inferno Pitch alongside civic leaders and investors. Two years from competitor to the judges' table.
Scaling Everything
Moved to the Board at R&R to focus on strategy. Pursuing Class II FDA clearance. Continuing to scale Collins & Gamble. The playbook is the same — build systems, solve problems, move fast.
About Me
I started my first company at 18 — not because I had a business plan, but because I had a problem worth solving. Rise & Rotate began as an idea my stepfather and I designed to help patients move safely. Today it's a patented, FDA-listed medical device that won $25,000 at the state's top pitch competition.
That same energy drove me to co-found Collins & Gamble with Ethan Collins, where we help Amazon creators turn their influence into scalable businesses using AI automation. And to build BoxDrop Beaumont into a lean retail operation that proved you don't need big-box overhead to beat big-box results.
I graduated from Northwestern State with a BBA — but the real education was building companies while earning my degree. I was VP of the Student Advisory Board, Treasurer of NSU Esports, and running two businesses simultaneously. After winning the Pelican Cup, I was invited back to judge the next year's competition.
In 2025, I was selected for Gregory Kallenberg's Startup Prize: Focus on Health — connecting with mentors, investors, and founders across the healthcare innovation ecosystem.
I'm not looking for the next opportunity. I'm building it.
