Guiding Small Businesses

I've spent forty years learning what leadership actually looks like under pressure — most of it the hard way.

That journey includes five CEO turnarounds over 20 years, building one company from negligible value to $60 million in less than five years, and leading a record-setting high school state golf championship team in 2013.

I've also spent forty years married to my best friend Kathy, raised three children alongside their spouses, and now enjoy life with five grandchildren — daily reminders to stay grounded, intentional, and grateful.

Most recently, I served as CEO of The Clearwing Group, a $60M live-events production and integration company. Today, I coach growth-oriented executives, founders, and next-generation leaders who want to lead with more clarity, resilience, and intention — and a lot less reactivity.

My philosophy is simple: leadership isn't tested when things are easy. It's tested when the pressure is on, the room is divided, and the right call isn't obvious. That's where the real work begins — and that's where I help.

I'm also the author of GRIT: Leadership Lessons from the Golf Course, where I share lessons learned from boardrooms, locker rooms, and tense moments on the back nine.

If you're a leader who wants to grow into the version of yourself the people around you need most — let's talk.
