Trash Panda Capital
Core Focus
Three ventures. One ecosystem. Every piece feeds the next.
Asteria Air is a premium regional airline concept dedicated to restoring viable routes across the Upper Midwest. We use data analytics and lean economics to identify underserved city pairs, offering modern comfort and human-centric service. This venture is our primary operating focus for the next decade, reviving essential air travel.
Asteria Partners is an aviation consulting and GTM studio. We leverage analytics, AI, and industry experience to help airlines and airports boost efficiency, expand routes, and modernize tech. Beyond revenue, we generate invaluable insider data and deal flow, providing a strategic advantage that strengthens the entire Asteria ecosystem.
Talora Solutions offers mentoring, advisory, and selective consulting for founders and operators I deeply respect. We help teams untangle go-to-market strategies, optimize systems, and navigate career transitions, providing focused support without the agency overhead. If you're here through a warm introduction, this is your entry point.
Sovereignty Pipeline
Long-Term Vision
The Asteria Group consolidates aviation, GTM, and infrastructure ventures under one roof, building equity across a tightly connected portfolio. Our long-term goal is sovereignty: resilient aviation, off-grid infrastructure, and an independent operator stack. Every asset is selected for durability, offering value regardless of market cycles.
Our roadmap is sequential: consulting cash funds route development, route data informs fleet decisions, and fleet operations fund infrastructure. Each layer de-risks the next, creating a disciplined path towards independence.
Past Life: Pong Solutions
Built. Scaled. Exited.
Pong was a Salesforce and CRM consulting firm that turned messy go-to-market systems into reliable, repeatable revenue engines for mid-market companies.
Before Asteria, I built and exited Pong, a Salesforce and CRM consulting firm. The work was unglamorous but clarifying — untangling broken pipelines, aligning sales and marketing data, and installing the discipline that turns sporadic deals into predictable quarters.
It taught me how to turn messy go-to-market systems into reliable revenue, and I've carried that discipline into aviation and infrastructure. The same principles apply: instrument everything, eliminate friction, let clean data drive decisions. Pong was the proving ground; Asteria is where those lessons compound.
My Final Thoughts
I treat life like a cockpit. Lean stack, no noise, everything instrumented. My work sits where software, aviation, and autonomy intersect — with Asteria as the main story and Trash Panda quietly collecting the equity. Life is too short for bullshit, and I'm here to trust who I am, love who I am, and build empires.
