About Me.
After 9 Years in the Marines with combat deployments to Iraq (2008 and 2009) and Afghanistan (2010), five years of leading teams for the intelligence community, and three years leading teams for a Fortune 100 company, I've learned that, in order to thrive, we have to do hard things. My passion in life is to bring my military, academic, and professional experience to others so we can walk through the battlefield of business together. I’ve spoken to thousands of leaders around the globe, consulted with several Fortune 500 companies, and helped executives and senior leaders change their professional and personal lives
