F-35 Pilot & Air Force Officer:
I bring the precision, discipline, and high-stakes decision-making of an F-35 cockpit to career consulting. I guide professionals to navigate complex problems, goals, and leadership opportunities with confidence.
Academic Foundation:
Classically educated for 12 years through Charlotte Mason Curriculum. Degree in International Studies from Cedarville University, focusing on the Middle East, International Business, and the Bible.
Global Perspective
Studied the European Union and philosophy at the American University of Athens, deepening my strategic and cultural insights for leadership coaching.
"Strategy without tactics is the slowest route to victory. Tactics without strategy is the noise before defeat."
– Sun Tzu
-Your Wingman -
I want to jump into the arena with you. You will discover tools to optimize your leadership abilities, in your style, in your environment. I have been through some of the worlds most rigorous, competitive, and stressful training through my experience as a Fighter Pilot, where failure to optimize doesn't just cost money, time, or opportunities; failure to optimize could cost life.
"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood..."
-Theodore Roosevelt
