Kansas City, Missouri, United States
For over 15 years, my professional journey has been fueled by a simple, consistent passion: unlocking the potential in both people and projects. Early on, I realized that true organizational growth doesn't happen in a vacuum—it requires a strategic, people-centered approach. By blending talent development and executive coaching with rigorous project management and process optimization, I built a career centered on eliminating roadblocks and cultivating collaborative workplace cultures. Earning my Executive MBA and serving as a coach for the Bloch Lead Scholars at the University of Missouri - Kansas City further solidified this foundation, teaching me to lead with a unique blend of high-level insight and genuine empathy. Today, as a global cross-functional leader, I focus on driving transformative growth and sustainable results. Grounded in my CliftonStrengths of Positivity, Communication, and Arranger, I thrive at the intersection of operational excellence and human connection. As an Enneagram Type 2 (The Helper) and an iS DiSC profile, my natural instinct is to support and elevate those around me, using my Working Genius of Galvanizing and Enablement to turn strategic visions into collective, energized action. Whether I’m designing skill-based training, refining workflows, or leveraging marketing communications, I am actively building agile teams that are engaged and ready for tomorrow’s challenges. Looking ahead, I am committed to exploring innovative ways to enhance performance and workplace culture. I bring this same curiosity, energy, and love for learning into my personal life. Whether I’m cheering on my kids at basketball and softball games, hitting a spin class, or hunting for the next great vinyl record, I believe in creating meaningful, lasting moments. As my wife and I continue our quest for the perfect local Kansas City latte and the city's best tacos, my ultimate goal remains unchanged: to lead a life of purpose and curiosity, continuously improving myself and empowering the community and organizations around me to thrive.
