OTHERS

FROM THE BATTLEFIELD
TO BUSINESS
Public Speaker. Combat Veteran. Inspiring audiences through perspectives from the battlefield.
Since being wounded in combat and retiring from active duty, I’ve continued “fighting for something bigger than myself - YOU” . I transitioned from being a special operator in the military to “what’s next” and the only real change, was the uniform. Through public speaking, I’m committed to the mission of Serving Others. Highlighting perspectives and experiences from military combat, and emphasizing the many similarities From the Battlefield to Business.
I was the “Tip of the Spear”…Until I wasn’t. Now, I recognize how insignificant I was without EVERYONE supporting me. It takes ALL of us to accomplish the Mission – No matter the battlefield.
What battlefield has your team, organization, or company found themselves on today? Whether you’re celebrating a major milestone or struggling through a season, they’re in this TOGETHER! Let’s tailor an engagement that’s specific to your mission and meaningful for your greatest asset, your people!


Every company, event and audience is unique. Let’s connect and guarantee YOUR definition of Mission Success is achieved!

I’ll spark collaborative conversation & foster openness that brings out the best in panelists while adhering to time & content constraints.

I’ll read the room, adjust on the fly and add the appropriate level of humor or seriousness that keeps your guests engaged and in the moment!
