Hi. My name is Thomas.
Founder & CEO
Since I was a kid, I’ve been obsessed with entrepreneurship, finance, and ranching. I’m addicted to tearing through financials, analyzing CAC, LTV, and customer funnels, and scaling businesses in untapped markets. That fire sparked LXIX, where I empower profit-driven ranchers to thrive with regeneratively adapted livestock that delivers.
I’m thrilled to be a first-generation rancher, learning from every mistake, and building my operation from the ground up.
As a teen, a back injury from sports fueled my obsession, leading me to read over 40 books on financial modeling, analysis, marketing, and copy. At 17, I juggled four part-time jobs while attending Michigan State, then broke into Wall Street—private equity, buyside, and bulge-bracket investment banks—with no family connections, just by outworking everyone.
After working with CFOs and CEOs of the largest companies, I saw that most ranches lag behind—stuck in old ways, resisting change, and missing their true potential.
As I scaled, finding hair sheep truly adapted to regenerative management was nearly impossible. Worse, sellers in Ohio and Wyoming touted themselves as regenerative operations but dumped onto their buyers low-quality sale-barn stock instead.
That’s why I founded LXIX. No profits, no business. Our profit-driven ranch uses regenerative grazing to revive land and yield outsized returns. I spent countless years of heavy culling to find sheep that thrive, not die, without endless drugs, to deliver top-tier breeding stock to like-minded ranchers.
I was able to quit to ranch full time.
No enterprise in ranching compares to the profitability of regeneratively- adapted hair sheep under proper management.
