Hello

From the Coast Guard to the corporate world and now business owner has been marked by challenges, growth, and a steadfast commitment to helping others. I believe that by embracing the principles of trust, empathy, and humility, we can transform the way we lead and create workplaces that truly value and empower their people.

 

Finding My Sea Legs: Joining the Coast Guard

Joining the Coast Guard was a life-changing decision that marked the beginning of a profound transformation. The rigorous training, disciplined environment, and camaraderie of my fellow guardsmen helped me discover my "sea legs." I learned the true meaning of service, discipline, and resilience. It was here that I found my purpose as a servant leader, someone who valued trust, empathy, and humility.

​

Transition to the Corporate World

Armed with these values, I transitioned into the corporate world. I was determined to bring the principles of servant leadership into this new environment. My mission was to help business leaders understand the profound impact of setting business goals based on vision and values. I championed the idea that true leadership is about empowering others, fostering a culture of trust, and prioritizing the growth and well-being of employees.

​

A Tragic Turning Point

Life, however, has a way of testing our resolve. The sudden death of a co-worker was a stark reminder of the fragility of life and the importance of purpose. This tragedy, coupled with a deep personal introspection, set me on a quest to find my true purpose. It was a journey that brought clarity and reinforced a common theme throughout my life.

Embracing My Role: The Calm in the Storm

I realized that I have always been the calm in the storm, the leader people turn to for comfort, honesty, and humility. Whether in the chaos of a maritime rescue or the complexities of corporate challenges, I have always found great satisfaction in helping others find solutions. My ability to connect with people, to see them not as strangers but as individuals with unique needs and potential, has been my guiding light.

A Vision for the Future

Today, I am committed to using my experiences by partnering with Elevate3C to help leaders create workplaces that prioritize employee growth. I strive to drive out the notion that employees are merely items on a balance sheet. They are individuals with needs, aspirations, and the potential for greatness. By fostering a culture of servant leadership, we can create environments where employees are guided both personally and professionally to elevate to their full potential.
