Lance Stokes is a lifelong entrepreneur and tech connoisseur with over a decade of experience as a business leader, innovator & operator.

After graduating from the University of Central Arkansas in 2009 with his bachelor’s in business management he enrolled in the University’s MBA program while pursuing a full-time career in technology with Hewlett Packard. Lance also started his first business during this time by developing and launching a small apparel company as a side hustle; a derivative of a class project. That small company evolved into a sunglass accessories startup that achieved nearly a million in sales in 18 months via online and traditional retail channels.

Lance sold his interest in that company in 2012, and he and his wife Lauren started a women’s apparel company that achieved a great amount of success in a short amount of time. Lance was integral in scaling the operations of the business that grew from a quarter million in sales to over 13 million in annual revenue in just under three years that landed the company at number 53 on the Forbes 500 for 2017.

He built and supervised a multi-state sales operation, and he formed a digital team of 8 employees responsible for 4.5M of annual online revenue. This company eventually sold to an international manufacturing group in late 2018. Lance led the complex financial and legal restructuring that led to the closing of the acquisition.
Lance most recently sold his interest in No Reservations Restaurant Group, an owner of three unique restaurant concepts in Santa Rosa Beach, FL. He was instrumental in launching three unique concepts over an 18 month period specifically focusing on construction, branding and operations.
Today, Lance is focused on consulting and commercial real estate development.
