Zero Equity.
Business Partner.

For more than a decade, I’ve helped individuals from the executive suite to the front lines start, grow, and optimize their businesses – turning the ability to analyze businesses and pick winners across the capital markets into insights and models for better growth and development.

I believe that business is the lifeblood of progress and success involves mastering the fundamentals, adjusting to market changes, and allocating capital at scale. Maybe I’ll be wrong, but with all the technological improvements in today’s society, this model of profit driving progress where the best ideas win will likely remain intact.

In the United States alone, annual business spending is in the range of $40 to $45+ trillion across all industries; total personal consumption is $15+ trillion in annually; and agencies at local, state, and federal levels spend around $2 trillion per year. This adds up to massive opportunities.

Business Success Concierge

In 2015, I started a membership based service called Key Bridge to fill the gaps left by consulting engagements and one off seminars. The idea was to charge a flat quarterly fee for access to support whenever you need them plus proactive solutions to push the business forward.

A big reason for this is knowing myself. I love love love learning about businesses, picking them apart and discovering new ways to improve them. It’s been the main theme of my career whether I was in finance, manufacturing, publishing or consulting.

In July of 2025,  I changed the name from Key Bridge to Arch Pylon. The membership continues to provide support and solutions that adapt to your work and business while applying proven principles to success – and being agnostic to the means. I continue to analyze businesses and offer insights on growth and development both to our members and on social media.

That’s what I think a business advisor/concierge should be anyway, not a jack of all trade, but someone who can find the right advice, resources, and connections for any situation as well as finding and facilitating opportunities, and curating the right insights.
