Building companies, grounded in engineering.

Entrepreneur • Founder & Managing Partner, QuorumPeak • Founder, CoreFeld • Rochester, MN

I'm an entrepreneur based in Rochester, MN. I'm the Founder & Managing Partner of QuorumPeak, a lean, equity-free incubator for AI, cloud, and software startups, and the founder of CoreFeld, a Minnesota technology consultancy. Both stand on more than twenty years of shipping cloud systems as a principal engineer and architect — no hype, just real products, sound architecture, and measurable outcomes.

What I Do

An incubator, a consultancy, and products of my own.

My work today is company building: running an incubator for early-stage software startups, guiding organizations through a consulting practice, and building products hands-on — the same engineering that backs everything else.

QuorumPeak

A remote-first, equity-free, fee-free incubator based in Rochester, MN. Members get direct senior engineering attention — architecture reviews, cost work, AI build guidance — with rolling admissions and a portfolio kept small on purpose.

CoreFeld

A Minnesota-based technology consulting company I founded in 2026: guide first, build second — built on decades of experience.

Building products

I build ventures in QuorumPeak's founding portfolio across AI operations, developer tools, backup, and identity — which keeps the incubator's advice honest. On the side, I'm publishing free, ad-free versions of classic casual games for iOS and Android: no ads, no in-app purchases, no tracking.

How I Build

Leverage over hype.

QuorumPeak, CoreFeld, and every product I ship follow the same operating principles. They come from twenty years of building under real constraints, not from a pitch deck.

  • Ship over pitch: real product motion and outcomes measured in shipped software, revenue, and survival — not vanity logos.
  • Clean incentives: the incubator is equity-free and fee-free, and the consultancy guides first and builds second — advice you can trust because nothing is being upsold.
  • Engineering as the edge: senior architecture, cost discipline, and AI-accelerated delivery give teams leverage that access alone never will.

Experience Highlights

Founder first, with twenty-plus years of engineering behind it.

QuorumPeak and CoreFeld are the current chapter. They stand on a long engineering career spanning full-stack development, architecture, public-sector systems, cloud modernization, and platform delivery.
