Biography
In the olden days
Prior to starting my own business twelve years ago I spent most of my career in the Accounting/Finance arena. In my last job I came into a very new, very small operation as their first Controller and assisted the two owners in growing the business from less than $1 million in revenue to over $20 million in just a little over five years. As the company grew, my role grew until I eventually became the CFO.
In my final five years with that company I moved into the COO role and this is where my passion for effective management, leadership and professional development was birthed. I suddenly became the senior manager of ten other middle managers and was dedicated to helping them grow to become the most effective managers and leaders they could be. I became a student of what it meant to be a great leader and it is a strong desire that has never faded.
For the last twelve years I have been working with owners, CEO’s, and other senior leaders of small and medium-sized businesses. It has been rewarding to see them grow, to see their teams develop, and to watch them succeed in business and life.
My amazing family!
One of the things I enjoy tremendously, and am getting more of lately, is the opportunity to work with some of my children in the business. I am excited to work with them, benefiting from their gifts and talents. It’s also exciting to give them the chance to develop their own skills and, in some cases, their own businesses.
Matt gets the credit for the development of this great website. His dedication and talents are greatly appreciated and I look forward to his continued contributions.
Jon is the man behind the camera. Many of the videos you see, especially in my products, are the result of his incredible talents. He has creativity, vision, and passion and is an entrepreneur himself.
Cassia is my Executive Assistant. She controls my calendar, helps me maintain a mostly paperless environment with Evernote, and helps me with other various tasks that help me stay focused on what’s important. She is a great part of the team.
I have plenty of learning and growing left to do. I am thankful that God is not finished with me yet. I am looking forward to Him teaching me how to be a better and better husband and father of an ever-increasing family.
Please allow me the privilege of joining you on your journey!
