I’m Here to Help Entrepreneurs Win

As an entrepreneurial kid, I took advantage of a multitude of opportunities to “do business” with people. The funniest one was selling pictures of Charlie’s Angels to the boys in my fourth-grade class.

I grew up to be a 10th grade English teacher and high school swimming and water polo coach. But the entrepreneurial bug was still in me, and I found myself building a learn to swim business from scratch, growing it to three year-round, indoor, stand-alone locations employing 100 people at its peak. I sold that business in 2018 after 20 years.

Running a successful business takes hard work. I’ve experienced the sleeplessness, the disappointments and especially a heartbreaking tragedy that brought me to my knees, and I’ve experienced the recognition, appreciation and opportunities that makes all the sacrifice worth it.

Signing up for that rollercoaster takes enormous courage. In fact, I think it’s downright heroic. And I want to help the heroes win.

I have a huge heart for business owners and their leaders. I love possibility, I love potential and I love progress.

What It’s Like to Work With Me

Working with me means you’ll be challenged in the best way. I’m tough but fair. I hold everyone accountable equally, consistently, and with love, especially myself.  

I will remind you that the hard conversations are the ones worth having, and I will stand by your side while you have them. I will push you to be a better leader, teammate, and human all in a safe, caring environment designed for next level leadership. 

I believe in building healthy cultures because culture is what drives everything else. I hate mediocrity. I hate unnecessary suffering. 

What excites me most is working with a team who is willing to do what it takes to put their egos aside and serve the greater good of the company. That’s the path to peace, freedom, prosperity, and impact.

If you’re ready to dwell in possibility, to commit to progress, and to become the kind of leader who makes leaders who make leaders, I’m all in with you.
