A portfolio of manufacturing, brand, and storefront companies
Right hand to the owner of PMB Companies. I turn his decisions into shipped outcomes across manufacturing, brands, storefronts, and B2B services, from vendor contract to first production run.
Chaos
One owner, a dozen businesses, two facilities, four kinds of operation, and decisions that arrive on a few days' notice. Nothing between the decision and the floor except whoever picks it up.
Order
A chief of staff who owns the follow-through: six production divisions built from an empty floor, a safety program adopted at every site, and four to six launches in flight at any time without the owner watching the date.

The story
I joined in April 2026 as Chief of Staff to the owner. The portfolio was already broad: manufacturing and import/export, sixteen media brands under Native Commerce, a family of storefronts, and B2B services. What it needed was someone to carry his decisions the last mile. The first stretch was building: six production divisions that did not exist, from chemical repackaging to fragrance blending, sourced, equipped, laid out, and staffed, on days of notice.
The second stretch was making it hold. A safety and compliance program written from scratch and adopted at every site. Vendor contracts, including suppliers who had refused to sell to us. B2B accounts that opened a third revenue channel. Go-to-market for Doodle Videos on the B2B side. At any given time there are four to six launches moving, and my job is that none of them fail because nobody was watching the date.
Programs owned
Written from scratch for a business that repackages and blends chemicals. Adopted at every site.
Energy-control procedures for the equipment behind six new production lines.
Evacuation, reporting, and roles for two Central Texas facilities.
Hazard assessments and PPE standards for every workstation on the floor.
Selection, fit, and clearance wherever chemical exposure calls for it.
