About Me

With over two decades of leadership experience, I have dedicated my career to empowering individuals, teams, and organizations to thrive. My work is rooted in fostering authentic connections and helping others unlock their full potential.

As a Certified Executive Leader, I blend practical expertise with a deep commitment to understanding people—their goals, challenges, and unique strengths.

My Journey to Decoding Greatness

There is nothing extraordinary about me. If you passed by me a thousand times, you would never find anything remarkable at first glance. And if you were able to get to know me, that wouldn’t change. I am just me.

I grew up in a world that taught me survival, not success. In poverty, the idea of “what you don’t know” becomes your greatest enemy. Knowledge wasn’t just scarce—it was invisible.

Purpose.

Sometimes we learn with the intent of simply acquiring knowledge, not with the purpose of truly growing.

The problem was never the books; it was the code hidden within them. Without the ability to unlock their meaning, all I could achieve was surface-level understanding. What I failed to see was that these authors were revealing systems—systems for thinking, leading, creating wealth, and living a life of purpose and impact.

Guiding Others Through Leadership

My mission is to use what I’ve learned as a leader to empower others. The lessons I gained during my time in the Army taught me the value of service, teamwork, and growth. Today, I extend those lessons beyond military life, helping individuals and organizations build environments that inspire innovation and opportunity.

Leadership is about more than achieving goals—it’s about helping others discover their potential and creating lasting impact. By fostering growth, aligning values with actions, and empowering people to succeed, we can create fulfillment both personally and professionally.

Creator of the Circle of Growth: A Leadership Roadmap

At the heart of my work is the Circle of Growth, a revolutionary leadership framework that redefines traditional approaches to success. This transformative methodology integrates personal introspection and professional execution into a unified, dynamic cycle, guiding individuals and organizations toward continuous improvement, resilience, and impactful leadership.

The Circle of Growth is more than a framework; it’s a roadmap for sustainable and meaningful success. Unlike linear models that emphasize isolated achievements, this approach recognizes growth as an evolving process. By aligning vision, values, and mission with actionable strategies, the Circle of Growth fosters adaptability, innovation, and the ability to navigate challenges while inspiring others.

Leadership for Life and Work

As an author, advocate, and advisor, I am passionate about positively impacting businesses and communities. My expertise in fundraising, strategic planning, and leadership coaching has empowered countless individuals to reach new heights. Through my work, I strive to extend my service beyond my time in the Army, helping others achieve personal and professional growth.

Wherever your ambitions take you, I am here as a steady source of advice and support, ready to guide you through the dynamic journey of leadership and success. Together, we’ll embrace the transformative power of the Circle of Growth—one of the few times in life where going in circles guarantees upward success.
