Inventor of LuxiEdge — deterministic compute.

I build things that have to work in the real world — on roofs, in oil fields, and at the bottom of the compute stack. LuxiEdge is what I'm building. Total Roofing Systems is what I operate.

02 — The engine

Total Roofing Systems

I make a living running a real business in one of the most crowded contractor markets in Texas. That's not a footnote — it's operating discipline. Systems, automation, reputation, and customer delivery drive the machine. Forbes published an article about exactly this.

Operating

#1 in Fort Worth

Commercial and residential roofing across Dallas–Fort Worth. Competing in a reputation-sensitive market where execution is everything.

Systems

Automation & ops

Built sales, coordination, vendor, and follow-up systems that let a lean operation compete with bigger shops. Technology applied to a traditional industry.

Proof

Why it matters for LuxiEdge

Investors don't need a founder who only codes at 2 a.m. They need one who still delivers for customers under the Texas sun.

03 — Tombstones

MD America Energy

Former CEO of a Texas oil & gas operating company — the smallest ever rated by Moody's and S&P. ~71,000 net acres, 300+ wells, ~$1B in asset value. If you're evaluating LuxiEdge, it answers whether I can execute at scale and survive a downturn.

Capital markets $525M debt facilities (Bank of America) · $200M term loan (Guggenheim) · S&P and Moody's rated
Operations 1 rig → 8 simultaneous pad-capable rigs · 2,300 → 17,000 BOPD in under 12 months
Fiscal discipline Zero debt balance sheet in 2017 · EOR funded entirely from free cash flow
Crisis management Navigated 2014–2016 oil price collapse — restructured debt, preserved equity value
Transactions Over $1.4 billion in total transaction value across career
