Profile

About me

I am a lover of life, a husband, dad, public speaker, certified Instructor and author. As a former member of the armed forces, I served in both the US Navy and the US Marine Corps. I then worked five years for IBM prior to becoming a successful entrepreneur and owner of one of the 500 fastest-growing privately held corporations in America. Along with enjoying time with my family, l mentor teenage boys and donate my time to community organizations as a leader and volunteer.

I specialize in helping others to experience the tough times & the problem areas of their life in a manner that keeps them calm, confident, creative and connected to their internal GPS which quietly directs them towards their goals and ultimate lifes purpose. I inspire these individuals and organizations to live a full and fearless life and become victors & not victims of the circumstances and situations that arise.
