I’m a coach, strategist, and servant leader with over 30 years of experience spanning military command, aerospace and defense corporate leadership, and executive operations. But if you ask me what truly shaped my career—it wasn’t the titles. It was the moments in the margins.
Like coaching a junior officer through their first leadership position. Or rebuilding a team after layoffs while the mission kept moving. Or navigating a strategic turnaround in telecom while launching my coaching practice at dawn.
I spent 26 years in the United States Air Force, retiring as a senior officer, and later led high-impact programs at Northrop Grumman and in the private sector. I’ve overseen $100M+ portfolios, hosted contract negotiations, built and launched a rocket and sat in rooms where trust had to be earned—not assumed.
Today, I run Strive4ward Coaching & Consulting, where I help high performers clarify their values, align with purpose, and lead without burnout. My target clients range from emerging leaders to C-suite execs who are tired of leading on autopilot.
Whether I’m coaching one-on-one or building a strategy to fix broken systems, my north star remains the same:
Build people. Empower action. Leave nothing on the table.
If you're looking for guidance with leadership, transition, or rediscovering what really drives you—I’d be honored to walk a few miles with you.
"To Whom Much is Given, Much is Expected"
I coach to serve—plain and simple. With 30+ years in military and industry leadership, I specialize in helping professionals gain clarity, confidence, and direction. My focus is on leadership growth, team development, and navigating complex challenges. I bring real-world insight, a servant-leader mindset, and a passion for helping others rise above the noise and lead with purpose.
