Role at FastLane

At Franchise FastLane, I guide franchise candidates through the early due diligence steps and help them connect with Brand Directors for further discovery. I ensure they have a positive experience throughout the process.

I also serve as the first point of contact for Franchisors looking to expand. I discuss our services and ensure they’re ready to support new franchisees, offering guidance whether they have a growth plan or need further coaching.

What do you love most about FRANCHISING?

One thing I love most about franchising is the positive change this industry creates. Regardless of someone's circumstances prior to considering business ownership, franchising is an invitation to regain control of your time, impact the lives of those around you, and pursue long-term financial freedom in an industry you find passion in. I've even seen this affect my family on a personal level. Each of my parents left corporate jobs of over 20 years to pursue business ownership. They're no longer tied to a 9-5 job, and instead, through their hard work, are positively changing the lives of those around them.

Tell us about your family...

I grew up in Omaha, Nebraska with my two parents and younger brother. I spent most of my childhood like most other kids, playing sports and focusing on school. After my brother and I graduated from high school, my parents moved to Arizona to pursue a franchise opportunity and are loving life in the warm weather. I recently married my wife, Claire, in October of 2024. Her and I each enjoy sports, board games, and spending time with friends and family. In addition to married life, I am also a franchise owner with one of our FastLane brands, Gameday Men’s Health. This is my first venture in business ownership and has allowed me to have invaluable conversations with aspiring franchise candidates who intend to transition to franchise ownership in their lives as well.

Hobbies...

In my free time, I like to stay busy. I enjoy working out, snowboarding, and spending time outside with my dog. In addition, my wife and I are homeowners and frequently challenge ourselves with various home improvement projects which brings us both many smiles, and a few occasional arguments!
