Of brandsO

A Rare Kind of Brands. I chose the name because I never wanted to build companies that feel interchangeable. Each one needs its own reason to exist.

Our point of viewGrowth is designed

Not an agency.
A group of companies built from the inside.

Public operator receipt / 2025

Built on
real reps.

I built ARKO from firsthand operating experience. In my public 2025 recap, I shared a trailing 365-day sales snapshot of $1,946,718 from a business I operated.

Publicly shared revenue snapshot. Revenue is not profit and this figure is not presented as consolidated ARKO Brand Group revenue.

Four public ventures. The wider D2C portfolio stays private. No Layer is the only D2C brand shown here.

Start with the market: what people want, where incumbents are slow and where a sharper brand can win.

Build the machine

Positioning, product, creative and distribution are designed as one connected operating system.

03

Compound the edge

Stay close to the customer, learn fast and reinvest the signal into brand, team and durable growth.

The founder

“I never wanted to stand on the sidelines. I wanted to own the outcome.”

I learned e-commerce by operating brands myself. Now I use those lessons to build software, systems and new companies. That journey is the thread connecting everything inside ARKO.

Beyond the companies

Why I keep
building.

The goal is not just to own more businesses. I want the work to create freedom, help the people around me and give me more room to support others. Faith, family and responsibility are part of the reason ARKO exists.
