WORK HISTORY
COO & Chief Investment Officer @Trestle Financial
Springville, UT, US
Most investment firms allocate capital. At Trestle Financial, we build and operate a multi-industry ecosystem where capital doesn’t just invest in assets — it helps create, control, and compound them across multiple industries. Trestle was built differently. We intentionally integrate capital, operating companies, real assets, media, and experiential platforms into a unified system designed to compound value across sectors rather than within isolated investments. Today Trestle operates across 13 divisions spanning real estate, motorsports, energy/oil & gas, media, life sciences, energy, education, sports & entertainment, private credit, venture capital, private equity, insurance, and strategic operating businesses. While these industries are uncorrelated, they are structured to create synergistic inputs with correlated upside — meaning cycles in one sector don’t necessarily affect others, while success in one division can accelerate opportunity across the entire ecosystem. Our philosophy centers on ownership stacking: combining asset ownership, operating control, brand/IP, media distribution, and capital access to capture multiple layers of value rather than relying on a single exit. Capital within Trestle is designed to move continuously through this system — funding development, supporting operating companies, enabling cross-platform opportunities, and recycling into new initiatives over time. The result is a platform focused on long-term ownership and compounding, not short-term financial engineering. Our goal is to continue building Trestle into an integrated ownership platform where capital, operations, and culture work together to create enduring assets and long-term value. We believe the future of private markets belongs to organizations that combine capital with operational control, media influence, and experiential engagement rather than treating investments as isolated transactions.
