Role at FastLane

At Franchise FastLane, I assist candidates in their first steps of business ownership by discussing preliminary information and addressing next steps of our discovery process. Many candidates I work with already have a specific brand interest in mind while others discuss various opportunities with me before settling in on a concept to further explore. Regardless of the path a candidate chooses, I am here to ensure they have the best experience possible before stepping into future areas of discovery with our Directors of Franchise Development.

What do you love most about FRANCHISING?

One thing I love about franchising is the number of lives changed in this industry. Regardless of someone's circumstances before starting a franchise, it's encouraging to see them regain control of their future opportunities and pursue something they're truly passionate about. I've even seen this affect my family on a personal level. Each of my parents left corporate jobs of 20+ years to pursue a franchise opportunity. They're no longer tied to a 9-5 job and instead, are changing their lives and many others for the better.

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. My brother Parker and myself both still live in Omaha, Nebraska. I am currently engaged to my fiancé, Claire, and planning a wedding for October 5^th, 2024. In addition to wedding planning, I am also a franchise owner with one of our FastLane brands, Gameday Men’s Health. This has been my first venture in business ownership and has been an extremely rewarding experience thus far.

Hobbies...

My favorite hobbies include watching sports (I'm a big NFL fan), playing video games, and hanging out with my close college friends. I also own the house I'm living at in Lincoln and enjoy doing home improvement projects in my free time.
