Guiding Leaders To Excellence
My Story & Mission
I help mid to senior-level leaders elevate their influence by aligning their leadership with core values.
Too often, leaders focus on metrics and strategy, overlooking the power of truly seeing and hearing their people. I guide them to lead with authenticity and empathy, building trust, deepening engagement, and driving meaningful results. By embracing values-based leadership, they create cultures where people thrive, not just comply. When leaders lead with authenticity, teams follow with commitment.

After serving as an Air Force officer for 37+ years, I began a new path—partnering with leaders and organizations to help them achieve their full potential. Guided by the principle to work hard and tell the truth, I strive to bring integrity, trust, and purpose to every coaching and consulting engagement.
My academic foundation began with an undergraduate degree in Business Administration, which gave me a strong understanding of organizational dynamics and leadership principles. Building on that, I earned an Executive MBA, equipping me with the strategic tools to help leaders and organizations navigate challenges and opportunities. These experiences prepared me to walk alongside others as a trusted partner in their growth and success.
Throughout my military career, I mentored and coached emerging leaders, helping them align their values with their actions and reach their goals. Inspired by these experiences, I pursued a Master’s in Executive Coaching and Organizational Consulting at NYU, where I deepened my expertise in leadership development and organizational behavior. This education allows me to design coaching models that empower leaders and teams to thrive in dynamic environments.
Faith, family, and service are central to my journey. As a husband of 44 years, a grandfather, and a community volunteer, I strive to embody the values I champion in my work. Whether partnering with leaders to navigate challenges or guiding organizations to foster growth and well-being, I am committed to helping others achieve meaningful, lasting success. I am ready to walk this path with you to drive meaningful and lasting transformation.

My Values

Faith
Faith is the foundation of my life, guiding me to serve others compassionately; to serve God. Isaiah 41:10 reminds me that strength comes from Him, providing courage in every challenge. My mission trip to Belize reinforced that true service transcends circumstances; people everywhere seek hope and connection. Through volunteering with the Red Cross, Heartland Food Bank, and my church, I strive to live out my faith by uplifting others, knowing that faith in action brings real impact.
