Tell us about yourself, your history and how you came to be where you are now.
I grew up in Fort Collins, attended Colorado Early Colleges and competed in track and football at Rocky Mountain High School. I met my wife at church in Fort Collins and immediately knew she was the one. We now have four sons, ages 5 months to 6 years. Coming from a family of five boys, building a large family of my own was always the dream. Today I coach high school track, stay active outdoors with my kids and prioritize dating my wife. At my core, I’m driven by a passion for serving people in whatever capacity I’m able.
Explain your career, achievements and professional highlights.
I started in restaurant management at Chipotle and worked my way up to their corporate training program in Denver, where I even trained a former CEO. I transitioned to Chick-fil-A in Timnath, helped implement a training system and served as facilities manager across two locations. From there, I explored multiple industries: HVAC, cleaning, insurance and pressure washing. I was always doing whatever it took to provide for my family. Auto detailing stuck, so I launched ACEE Mobile Detailing to give busy families one less stressor. In 2025, we were voted Best of NOCO’s No. 1 auto detailing service, and I’m honored to now be a part of 30 Under 30.
In what ways do you give back to the community?
I’ve been a lead track and field coach at Heritage Christian Academy for five years—we’ve won a state title and multiple runner-ups—and I provide off-season training for student athletes. I regularly give to our church and offer complimentary detailing services for single mothers, seniors and struggling families. We do fundraisers for school sports programs and churches and donate our services to them. I also donate detailing products and services to nonprofits of all types.
What do you consider your biggest accomplishment or challenge you’ve overcome, either professionally or personally?
My biggest accomplishment is becoming a man, husband and father my wife and kids can be proud of. I’ve worked in multiple industries, and for years, I worked 80-100 hours per week to provide for my family. But I never got to see them, so when I started ACEE, I made sure that changed. Instead of working constantly, I am now investing in my family and becoming a good example for my kids.
Where do you see yourself in five years? In 10 years?
In five years, I see myself continuing to grow ACEE with multiple trucks, supporting a team and expanding the business into other cities and states. In 10 years, I want to expand ACEE into other home service businesses while maintaining our quality and standard of service. I also want to teach my oldest son, who will be 16 in 10 years, about business and healthy manhood. At some point, I’d love to take my wife and kids to see the Seven Wonders of the World.
What piece(s) of advice would you give to your younger self?
Comparison is the thief of joy. Aim higher, dream bigger and believe harder. Positivity wins. Start and end every conversation with gratitude. Remember that you’re not alone and that there are a lot of people who know what you’re going through. There is power of life and death in the tongue, so speak wisely. Start social media sooner. Thank your wife daily; she does more than you could ever know.
Tell us something unique about you.
I’m working to restore my Plum Crazy Purple 1969 Dodge Dart. I got married at 21 years old. I’m severely allergic to guinea pigs.
What has been the key to building a successful mobile detailing business?
The key isn’t a strategy or a system; it’s knowing your real why. Not the polished version, the raw one. For me, it’s this: My wife and I have always had our best conversations in the car. Our biggest memories, our most honest moments, all in the car. So we don’t just detail cars. We protect peace. We relieve stress. We honor the stories people carry inside them. When your why is that personal, it stops being a business and starts being a calling. Everything else—the growth, the team, the reputation—flows from that.
What do you love most about fatherhood?
Every evening, I open my front door and the world stops. I hear feet. Then screaming, “Dad! Dada! Daddy!” and before I can take another step, my kids are colliding into me for what we call a wrestle hug. It doesn’t matter what the day held because in that moment, none of it exists. That’s what I love most about fatherhood, not a milestone, not a lesson, not a legacy. Just a door opening and four kids who can’t wait one more second for their dad to come home.
