Mentorship approach

Founded and scaled Portland Leather Goods from a $5,000 loan in a Portland garage to over $500 million in total sales, building one of North America’s largest and most beloved leather goods brands without external funding. Re-engineered the business to become fully vertically integrated, establishing a manufacturing facility in León, Mexico and personally relocating to oversee operations. This operational ownership model enabled unprecedented control over quality, margins, and speed—turning the company into one of North America’s largest and most efficient leather goods producers. Built the company through direct-to-consumer strategies, creative marketing, operational excellence, and a leadership philosophy rooted in transparency, experimentation, and authentic customer relationships.
