A skeptical positivist. A corporate optimist. And a leadership realist.  I’ve spent more than two decades strengthening organizational cultures with data-driven exploration, diagnosis, and prescriptive solutions.  It’s what I do, and its pursuit feeds my passion for continuous individual and organizational growth. After all, organizations are the lifeblood of society.  So, why accept inadequate leadership, followership, and culture, when the alternative promotes healthy individuals, companies, and economies at all levels?

I’ve led teams of 5-300 dedicated professionals, and I’ve made enough leadership mistakes to fill a book.  But it’s from a humble perspective on leadership and its challenges that I approach my work with organizations.  And I love what I do.

The father of two college-aged daughters, an avid reader, a skydiver and ice hockey goalie, and a veteran of both the U.S. Army and Navy, I aim to always maintain a work-passion balance in everything I do.  An HR Officer with the Navy Reserve, I currently reside north of San Francisco in Sonoma County, California, with my partner, JoDee, two pugs and a golden retriever.  A true adventurer, I live my life by the following sentiment:

“I refuse to tiptoe through life….only to arrive at death.” ~ Unknown
