Open Horizon Analytics: Innovative Data Solutions for Accelerating Growth, Engagement, and Impact

Driven By Purpose
My passion for Open Horizon Analytics is driven by a commitment to accessibility—delivering innovative solutions, enhanced capabilities, and deeper insights to ensure that everyone benefits from data-driven decisions. My goal is to empower mission-driven organizations—nonprofits, schools, and universities—as well as customer-focused businesses in retail and agent-based services to grow, engage, and thrive with purpose.

Founder, Principal Consultant
For nearly two decades, I have specialized in delivering substantial organizational value through diverse, data-driven analytic solutions that empower organizations to make informed, strategic decisions. My expertise spans audience segmentation and profiling, behavioral analysis and prediction, churn prediction and mitigation, forecasting and trend analysis, and lead scoring and prioritization. These capabilities help organizations optimize operations and maximize growth opportunities.

I’ve had the privilege of partnering with Fortune 500 clients across industries such as grocery, consumer packaged goods, convenience stores, entertainment, and quick-serve restaurants, consistently delivering actionable insights that drive measurable outcomes. In addition to my work in these sectors, I’ve contributed to higher education philanthropy, applying my analytic skills to support fundraising and donor engagement strategies that have created meaningful impact within academia. Through my work, I’ve seen firsthand how organizations that make a tangible difference in their communities can leverage data to amplify their efforts.

I hold a BA in Business Administration with a Finance concentration from the University of Iowa and an MBA with a Marketing concentration from Loyola University Chicago. My academic background, combined with my hands-on experience across various sectors, allows me to deliver comprehensive and customized solutions to my clients.

A proud Iowa native and devoted Hawkeye fan, I am also the author of Resilience Unbroken: My True Story of Survivals, a deeply personal memoir chronicling my journey through life-altering challenges, including leukemia and cardiac arrest. My story is one of resilience and transformation, inspiring others to face adversity with strength and hope.

After spending 25 years in the vibrant city of Chicago, I have returned to my home in Iowa, where I live with my wife of 25 years, Allyson, and our beloved dog, Grace. Alongside my professional endeavors with Open Horizon Analytics, I aspire to share my story as a motivational speaker, encouraging others to rise above life’s challenges and embrace their own journeys of growth.
