A BIT ABOUT ME
I teach couplepreneurs a proven method for running their business with grace and growing the joy in their relationship.
My first successful business ended in divorce and an early sale — because I had to learn the lessons I now teach.
Now I run Apocalypse with my beloved Madison, invest in and advise small businesses, and mentor couples.
You don’t have to choose between making your business work and making your relationship work.
Are you a Couplepreneur?
Did you know that 48% of couplepreneur partnerships end in divorce?
This means that your work as leaders and lovers starts with building a stable and lasting relationship.
You might be surprised to discover that there are couples that run their business, nurture their family, and have a stable + sexy relationship.

Have you given up on romance?
Have you begun asking yourself if growing your business means losing your relationship?
I’ve been there. And what you’re afraid of is, sadly, too often true.
THE THREE PERILS OF PARTNERSHIP
Neutrality:
Good teamwork, no intimacy — Business grows, relationship shrinks.
Abdication:
Irresponsible intimacy —
The business shrinks, relationship grows.
Blowout:
Conflict-ridden teamwork, occasional passionate intimacy — Business implodes, relationship suffers and often ends.
BUT…it doesn’t have to be this way.
