Strategy, Systems, and Soul
I help leaders, teams, and changemakers grow with clarity, connection, and AI-powered execution.
From Battle Creek to Boardrooms — and Back to the Community
I help people, small businesses, and the next generation unlock potential, embrace technology responsibly, and lead with purpose.
The Story That Shaped Me
I grew up in Battle Creek, Michigan, raised by a single mother who worked two jobs to make sure my brother and I had what we needed. Our city was filled with violence, gangs, and constant temptation. I changed schools regularly, and while I was smart enough to test my way through, I was more focused on having fun than paying attention.
Sports became my escape and my classroom. I wasn’t the biggest athlete, so I became the craftiest. Always thinking five steps ahead, reading people, and adapting in the moment. That skill would later become the foundation for how I lead, problem-solve, and innovate.
But in 2011, everything changed. A work accident shattered both of my elbows, forcing me into three years of surgeries and physical therapy. I learned firsthand what resilience truly meant. I realized I had taken life for granted. When I got back on my feet, I worked in a drug and alcohol rehab, helping people who had hit rock bottom. That’s when my purpose clicked: I was here to help others rebuild, starting with belief in themselves.
The Resilient Path
I’ve been underestimated my entire career. My résumé never told the full story — the systems I’ve built, the enterprise-level projects I’ve delivered, the high-level conversations I’ve had with leaders at Dell, HPE, Wells Fargo, AT&T.
From selling shoes at Champs Sports to working with some of the world’s largest companies, I’ve built my career on being a quick learner, an extreme change agent, and someone willing to take calculated risks to create impact.
In 2025, I took a leap.. a “micro-retirement” .. to bet on myself. My mission was clear:
Help small businesses leverage AI and automation to do more with less
Prepare the next generation to lead in an AI-powered world
Leave the world better than I found it
Strategic Solutions I Lead
I help leaders, builders, and changemakers align their vision with execution.
Not through hype or hustle, but through proven systems, community, and strategy.
These are the core solutions and frameworks I lead to help you grow what matters.
Business Growth Council (BGC)
My flagship leadership and execution circle
BGC is a private council for entrepreneurs, founders, and community leaders who want to scale with clarity. We bring structure to growth and help you build the infrastructure behind the vision.
Inside BGC, we focus on:
Designing revenue and growth systems
Building a solid operational core
Aligning team, tech, and outcomes
Creating accountability around execution
This is where strategy becomes your system.
Future Leaders Academy
Preparing young minds to lead with technology, ethics, and creativity
Future Leaders Academy started with a simple question:
How can we give back to the next generation in a way that truly prepares them for what’s coming?
When AI in Education was signed into law, most conversations focused on how artificial intelligence might replace jobs for adults. Almost no one was talking about helping kids learn how to use it responsibly and creatively.
FLA was built to close that gap.
Today, as a nonprofit organization, FLA blends literacy, leadership, and digital skills with a strong focus on ethics, curiosity, and resilience. We created a 52-week curriculum filled with hands-on challenges that help students build not just technical fluency, but the life skills that often go untaught in traditional classrooms.
Our programs are built for K–6 students and designed to run year-round. They are project-based, story-driven, and culturally aware.
One of my favorite memories is with a 4 year old named Jaz, who calls our AI mascot Byte his buddy. Every time he visits, he asks to learn something new. That spark is why this matters.
FLA partners with:
Schools and districts
Community organizations
Youth programs and nonprofits
Public agencies and educational funders
We are not just preparing kids for the future. We are helping them shape it.
Sales Frameworks: DRIVE. PRIME. INVITE.
Modern sales strategies for today's market
DRIVE, PRIME, and INVITE are three frameworks built for the way people buy today.
They move beyond outdated sales scripts and pressure tactics. Instead, they focus on building authentic momentum, communicating value with clarity, and inviting action through intentional offers.
These systems are driven by data and designed for adaptability. Sales teams are using them to shift how they connect with prospects and close deals with confidence.
I have worked with organizations where less than half of the sales reps were meeting their goals. After implementing these frameworks, we saw consistent improvements. Conversations got deeper, response rates increased, and pipelines started moving again.
DRIVE, PRIME, and INVITE are now being adopted by teams that want real structure without losing their human touch. These frameworks support sustainable success and give reps the tools to lead with purpose.
DRIVE: Build momentum with systems that move people forward
PRIME: Position your message so it connects with clarity and trust
INVITE: Extend meaningful offers that open the door to real conversations
These frameworks work together to create results.
They are not just about selling. They are about aligning strategy with action.
