Why do I coach?
My passion is coaching entrepreneurial leaders who are scaling themselves and their organizations. If you’re starting a business or already a leader in a fast-paced environment where you’re challenged with bringing order out of chaos and building processes for scaling teams, I would love to be your advisor and coach. I started my first business of baseball coaching 20 years ago. Since then, I’ve continued mentoring, coaching, and advising anyone eager to learn. I consider myself a leader, a learner, and an entrepreneur. Startup business operations generalist. Team builder. Marine Corps veteran. Accomplished in 15+ years of leadership, operations, recruiting, and communications. As a consulting project manager and a startup executive, I have put my heart and soul into team leadership. Through operations management and personal leadership, my teams have exemplified discipline and continual improvement. *****Ask about a first timer discount code!*****
