Frontier Foundry is an Austin, TX based holding company. We found, acquire, and operate founder-led businesses across technology, digital marketing, home services, media, and the outdoor economy — and we run them ourselves rather than owning them from a distance. Since early 2024 we have completed three exits and built a portfolio of four operating companies.
Why we built the agency instead of hiring one. Most small businesses don’t fail because the work is bad. They fail because not enough people know they exist. We had that problem in our own companies, so we started a company to solve it — Deer Camp Digital. It reached a seven-figure annual run rate in under 18 months, serves clients across the country, and builds its own software. We never sold it, because it is what makes every other acquisition worth making.
My career was built at the intersection of technology, revenue growth, operations, and leadership. I spent more than a decade with IBM and VMware before moving into entrepreneurship. Since then I have founded, acquired, operated, and exited businesses across technology, digital marketing, home services, media, and the outdoor economy.
Today my wife and business partner, Allison, and I lead Frontier Foundry as active operators — working directly across strategy, technology, sales, marketing, finance, and leadership development. I’m most interested in founder-led businesses with real customers, capable people, and room to grow.
