I was five years old putting together patios with my dad, who owned a landscape and hardscape business. I spent my early years working on farms and landscape crews, operating equipment and pouring concrete, all while putting myself through college.
Throughout my career I have handled compliance and financials, navigated labor contracts, and assisted in marketing and sales strategies for businesses in the horticulture industry. That experience gave me something most CPAs will never have: a deep, firsthand understanding of what it actually takes to run a real business.
My goal has always been to learn the concepts of the white collar world and translate them into practical, usable strategies for blue collar business owners. These are the people who have been overlooked and underserved by traditional professionals for decades.
That is exactly why I built Kino Capital.
