Audiences will be equipped and inspired to take their leadership to a real level. Practical and simple methods and techniques are presented with real life stories and applications that illustrate their effectiveness. Leaders at all levels will be able to create dynamic high performing team.

I am an experienced leader and author with over 26 years of direct leadership experience. I am a West Point graduate and former Army officer. I also served as an executive in one of the top design and construction organizations in the world. My career has taken me overseas to places such as China, where I was part of building Shanghai Disney Resort. Recently I lived in Europe building a cruise ship and sailed from Germany to Singapore.


My experience in high stress project environments where we were expected to do the impossible inspired me to create a simple framework for leadership and team development that I have outlined in my recent book. This book is planned for launch in early fall 2026.


My passion for leadership has grown to a desire to share my experiences and learning o er the years. From West Point to Disney I have experienced unique situations and common challenges seen by leaders at every level. My desire is to ensure leaders at all levels are equipped to develop dynamic, high performing teams. I have been able to do this repeatedly in some of the most challenging situations both at home and overseas. I believe that others can do this as well.
