I combine 26 years of Navy Special Operations experience with proven business leadership to help executives, entrepreneurs, and public leaders build and sustain high-performing teams.
Education without experience is philosophy. Many “certified” coaches and trainers lack the depth of real-world leadership required to make a lasting impact.
As both an educated and experienced leader, I help leaders at every level evolve in a genuine, practical way. With my signature unconventional, high-energy style, I guide business owners, executives, and public figures (including political leaders) to adapt, advance, and thrive.
Drawing on my 26 years in Navy Special Operations and as the owner of a multi-million-dollar business, I share not only my successes but also the failures that shaped me. My leadership model is time-tested, and my team development framework applies the military standard of aligning manpower, training, and material resources.
I show leaders how to design the blueprint of a high-performing team and how to sustain and scale it. Beyond strategy and execution, I emphasize often-overlooked essentials: rest, hydration, nutrition, exercise, brain and heart health, and lifelong learning as cornerstones of leadership longevity.
If you are responsible for anyone other than yourself, you are in a leadership position, and you deserve to be prepared, experienced, and trained to lead with excellence.
