Begin with the end...

...and never lose sight of it!

Welcome!

Thanks so much for taking a few minutes to learn a little about me.

It all started years ago...

Just out of the military and fresh from college, I had arrived in Los Angeles, ready to start a brand-new career. I was also recently divorced, broke, and living out of my car!
 
Back then, the math was simple: "If I don't succeed, I don't eat!" 

Soon, I found myself freelancing for a national ad agency, working with a client who was under the gun and desperate for immediate results. Clearly identifying the problem, assessing the landscape, uncovering key insights, and implementing a solution, I led the team to achieve what many folks thought was improbable...even impossible:

Converting the brand's -40% losses into a +69% rebound.

Lesson Learned: Crisis = Opportunity

 

Since those early days, I have specialized in 'turn arounds,' seeking out organizations, clients, and situations that faced the toughest battles...where risk was high and success was anything but certain.

​​​

  • Teams recovering from significant layoffs and desperate to rebuild.

  • Clients threatening to walk away if they didn't see results FAST!

  • Firms that were trapped between a frantic need to evolve and a paralyzing fear of change.

  • ​Ambitious first-time programs, that possessed few resources...and even less hope.​​

​​

This road less traveled has helped me learn more, grow faster, and personally deliver powerful results for my clients, brands, and teams.

​

 

In the end, the toughest mountains are the ones most worth climbing!​
