Who is Eclectic Alchemy

What We Do

Eclectic Alchemy® turns lived insight into mission-driven IP that can scale. We start with our own concepts, then widen the circle to partners who share the aim: durable revenue with measurable social impact.

Markets reward clarity. Communities need solutions. We use disciplined research to translate real needs into brandable, ownable assets—then choose the right path: launch, license, or sale.

We believe in modern alchemy; the transformation of insight into opportunity, and opportunity into change.

The Founder’s Story

“Eclectic Alchemy® was born from a simple idea: to alchemize a lifetime of corporate experience into social impact that truly matters.

After years spent inside Fortune 50 organizations, blending engineering, brand management, business transformation, and M&A, I learned what makes companies efficient, scalable, and profitable. Now, I’m applying that same precision and creativity toward building purpose-driven ventures that serve communities and expand equity.

This work is also personal.

It’s a continuation of my parents’ legacy; their optimism, their belief in service, and their unwavering example of what it means to give back. Through my own journey with Tarver Management Group, developing permanent supportive housing, I’ve seen firsthand how business can create stability and dignity for others. Eclectic Alchemy is the next evolution of that mission, using intellectual property, not just physical assets, to scale impact farther and faster.

Eclectic Alchemy exists at the intersection of curiosity, creativity, and purpose. It’s where I bring together ideas and talent, connecting dots in unexpected ways, turning complexity into clarity and the ordinary into something extraordinary.

This is work that’s both serious and joyful. It’s where experience meets wonder — where impact and innovation coexist, and where I continue to build a life that’s not only sustainable, but meaningful.

In short, I’m creating a more efficient, scalable version of what I’ve always done:
building systems that create opportunity, equity, and a better way forward.”
