“The Connect Group for The Next Generation of Community and Industry Leaders.”


Our Mission

To bring like-minded individuals between the ages of 16 – 26 years old together to forge the skills necessary to successfully own and operate a business along with taking control of and owning our lives.

We do this by making connections, sharing ideas, learning financial intelligence, learning how to take risks, and learning how to take control of and manage our own mental and emotional well-beings.

Our goal is not only to make many great connections and referrals, but also to share value and get feedback on what each person is doing individually both in business and in life. We allow everybody to share their point of view and give them the opportunity to get feedback on their idea, business, content piece(s), life decisions, and more.


“We run on a value exchange basis that consists of sharing viewpoints and insight across business, finance, and all other topics of life.”


My journey began as a freshman in high school; young, driven, and ignorant. Starting my first venture (Landscape Design, Build, and Maintenance) was easy at first until I started to grow rapidly and had 0 guidance in the landscaping industry and in business in general, that was until I started to ask questions, ask for feedback, and even for help. At first it was intimidating, but I soon recognized asking questions and actively searching for learning opportunities started to grow my network which is where I took my company and my life as a whole to the next level. I soon graduated from East Ridge High School, then did 1 year of Community College at Inver Hills and soon dropped out to continue growing my ventures including my landscape design and build company and Apeiron Media alongside Jake. I still operate my ventures to this day with the core values I learned on my own and from my mentors which emphasize communication, honesty, and purpose. These values would help me gain an amazing reputation in my community and would also lead me to much of my current circle including my mentors and friends alike including Jake where we soon built not only a strong friendship but a great partnership in business. I soon understood the importance of building a strong-tight-knit circle which would allow me to be open with my thoughts, be held accountable (& vice versa), get & give feedback, and lastly grow & learn together which is exactly what Apeiron Apex is built on.

The Founders

With more than 7 years owning, operating, and managing numerous companies, I have created a distinguished reputation for myself across several industries throughout the Twin Cities and metro area. My entrepreneurial journey began when I was 13 years old after I founded my very first lawn/landscape/snow company that I decided to grow and expand for more than 5 years before ultimately having to sell and move on from. During this time I graduated from Stillwater High School, and then completed two semesters at the University of St. Thomas – Opus College of Business before dropping out to pursue my real dreams and passions full-time. While in school I joined a much larger firm and took on a Director/Chief-Officer role, which I still hold today. It is the second largest Landscape Design/Build/Maintenance company in the state of Minnesota, top 25 in the Midwest, and top 150 in the United States. On top of that I am a Co-Founder/Partner of both Apeiron Media as well as Apeiron Apex with my business partner Evan. He and I are firm believers that you are a product of who you surround yourself with, so why not surround yourselves with like-minded individuals that can hold you accountable and help you get to the next level. From my experience I have found that successful businesses are built on solid relationships, good networks, and great groups of people, so the mission we are on is to create just that.
