Our Story

Before it became a movement, it began as a response to a tension I kept facing in my own life. In 2018, I started a full-service marketing agency. I had a real mission, cared deeply about people, and wanted my work to honor God. But I was also tired, scattered, isolated, and unsure how to grow without compromising my values. I ended up chasing marketing tactics that felt misaligned and manipulative, sitting on powerful stories I was afraid to share, and quietly burning myself out to chase the next dollar.

Money had become the mission, people inevitably became the tool. After scaling that business to $15k/month while feeling the most miserable I had ever felt in my life, God kept convicting me to shut it all down, and start over again with a purpose beyond profit.

So, at the peak of my financial success, I obeyed God's conviction to destroy my idol. I shut down my marketing agency, canceled all my recurring revenue, and started over from absolute zero.

Sitting at my desk with an open journal, I simply asked God what He wanted. I started a free Facebook group with absolutely nothing to sell, just a desire to figure out what it looked like to build a business where loving people was the primary mission, and money was simply the tool.

What happened next was a beautiful story of redemption.

The Holy Spirit began giving me frameworks for how to run a business in deeper alignment with biblical principles. I started sharing these concepts on 1-on-1 coaching calls, which slowly evolved into 12-week cohorts. As those entrepreneurs graduated, they didn't want to leave the community, so we launched the Mastermind—which has grown into a thriving, collaborative ecosystem of Jesus-loving entrepreneurs for the last 4 years.

Instead of spamming people or running manipulative ads, we grew our business entirely through "Mission Partnerships". We chose to collaborate with other Kingdom-minded leaders, proving that the body of Christ works best when we partner together rather than compete out of fear.

We took our virtual relationships in-person by hosting annual in-person "Refresh Retreats". It became a safe space for entrepreneurs to step away from the noise, pursue spiritual realignment, and experience life-on-life connection.

I stopped living an isolating "double life" that separated my faith from my work. Most beautifully, this sustainable model allowed my wife, Isabella, to leave a stressful teaching career and join me full-time as Director of Operations.

We've been able to build bridges all around the world with people & organizations who want to build their business in alignment with their God-given purpose, and we've been blessed to serve hundreds of entrepreneurs and small businesses along the way.

Purpose Beyond Profit became redemption for me personally first, and has paved the way for redemption in many more areas for many more people.
