MY STORY

I reached the summit. The climb changed me.

I spent the last decade and a half pursuing what I thought would my life's work. I founded, built and sold three successful, high-growth companies, hired nearly 200 employees, and was able to positively impact millions of lives.

But, things change. I climbed a mountain that few get to summit, yet my mental, physical, and spiritual health had taken a backseat and I was in need of a different mountain to climb. With a little clarity and perspective I stepped back and hit the reset button. In that reflection journey, the choice was clear: it was time to hang up my CEO hat in exchange for a new one more aligned with who I have become.

I now coach founders and leaders who want to pursue excellence both as leaders in their companies and in their personal lives. Together, we will overcome the hurdles you see (and the ones you might not see yet), and prepare you for the ones you’ll inevitably face in the future, so you’re equipped to lead with even more clarity, authenticity and confidence.
