Entrepreneur · Consultant · Builder
I build things from zero. Product thinker, solution engineer, and consultant who bridges the technical and the human — turning ideas into real products and real revenue.
About Me
From day one, I’ve been someone who moves between worlds, connects the dots others miss, and finds opportunity where most see obstacles. I studied Mechanical Engineering at San Jose State, but my real passion has always lived at the intersection of people, ideas, and execution.
Faith anchors everything for me. As a believer in Jesus Christ, it shapes how I lead, how I build, and how I show up for the people I love. Outside of work, you’ll find me fishing, hooping, hitting the gym, jumping out of planes, or investing in real estate. I’ve never been good at sitting still.
My greatest achievement isn’t a company or a deal. It’s my family. I’m married to my beautiful wife Bobbie, the life of every room she walks into. She enjoys music, dance, and bringing people together through experiences that leave a lasting impression. We tied the knot on 2/2/22 and haven’t slowed down since. Together we’re raising three incredible kids: Aiyana, our 11-year-old dancer, soccer player, and lemonade entrepreneur behind Drink Sky’s the Lemon; Aasir, our 2-year-old Spider-Man obsessed, sign-language-speaking force of nature; and Claude Perry III, 21, who keeps the whole family grounded. I’m also the proud older brother of Spencer Cowley, a police officer serving the North Richland Hills, TX community.
Dallas born, Bay Area raised. Proud fan of the Oakland A’s ⚾, Golden State Warriors 🏀, and San Francisco 49ers 🏈.

The NIL Tax Platform for Student Athletes
High school and college athletes are signing NIL deals — but nobody’s helping them handle the tax side. Taxletic is a mobile platform that lets athletes and parents track every deal, calculate withholdings, and stay ahead of tax season. Built from scratch. Solving a real problem. Growing every day.
What I Bring
I sit at the intersection of product, people, and execution. Here’s how that breaks down.
I’ve taken products from idea to launch — twice. I know what it takes to build from zero, ship it, and iterate in the real world.
Six figures in sales, high-stakes stakeholder rooms, and a track record of saving clients hundreds of thousands. I deliver outcomes, not just decks.
I translate complexity into clarity. From Design Thinking workshops to customer discovery — I find what users actually need and build toward it.
What I’ve Built
A mobile platform for high school athletes, college athletes, and parents to track NIL deals and manage tax withholdings. Built from scratch — making financial literacy accessible for the next generation of athletes.
