Core Pillars of Transformation

These pillars guide everything I do — from one-on-one coaching to keynote presentations and immersive retreats — creating measurable growth, lasting influence, and elevated human performance.
Who I Work With
- CEOs, executives, and senior leaders
- Elite athletes in the NBA, NFL, NHL, MLB, PGA, and Olympic programs
- Entrepreneurs, founders, and high-performing teams
- Anyone ready to rise, overcome setbacks, and lead with purpose
I bring decades of real-world experience, combining neuroscience, psychology, and leadership expertise with hard-earned lessons from life’s toughest challenges — helping you unlock your next level.
My Journey
Over two decades ago, life seemed set: career climbing, titles growing, future secure — until a routine chiropractic adjustment triggered three life-threatening strokes. Doctors said, “You could die at any moment.”
In that instant, nothing was guaranteed: not my voice, not my career, not even my next breath. Rebuilding my life physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually taught me lessons no degree or boardroom ever could.
By 28, I had become president of a healthcare company and later ran six more. But during the 2008 recession, when the world was collapsing for others, I decided to leave everything comfortable. Witnessing people lose jobs, homes, and hope ignited a calling I couldn’t ignore.
I walked away from security and corner offices to pursue something bigger: inspiring greatness in others.
What I Do Now
As a performance coach, speaker, and author, I help high performers:
- Lead with clarity, courage, and conviction
- Bounce back stronger from setbacks
- Align purpose with performance
- Rise into their next level of leadership and life
Through Performance Meets Purpose coaching, keynotes, and retreats, I guide leaders to thrive — not just succeed — with resilience, authenticity, and impact.
