My Story

I've been working in business since about the time I could walk... literally. I started working at the age of 3 with my father and grandfather in the family business.

As a fourth generation business owner I come from a family of pioneers, learners, and innovators. Exploring how to improve people and process is what my family has always done. From the first ever gravity flow mill distributor my grandfather designed to now redesigning the employer-employee relationship to reduce stress and create more valuable experiences, my family has always pushed the boundaries of what is possible to reorder, realign, or redesign things to simply work better with less stress or effort.

Over the years I've had the opportunity to help create $ millions of new value for organizations working within and across leadership and innovation initiatives.

Today I bring 20+ years experience leading people, innovation, and operations to offer LeadersOps that helps CXO leaders motivate employees and create better clinician, caregiver, & patient experiences. Together we transform culture to a more energizing, productive, and patient focused workplace with less stress and burnout.

What i can do for you

Candid advice - I'm the guy who will tell you what you need to hear as both a friend and mindset shifter. I'll do it diplomatically and also help you understand why it's important to reach your goals. As someone who has made mistakes in my own business, I won't judge you for past choices, but I will be a trusted advisor communicating what to do moving forward.

Actionable Insights - I'm a proponent of taking the abstract and making it actionable. And taking what is important and making it measurable (even if it is perceived as unmeasurable). I know that advice is only as good as how well it can be implemented. My team sources tools and creates them when needed to do this.

Strategic Sounding Board for Success - When it's time to weigh out decisions or talk to your board, you don't have to do it alone. I can share what has worked (and as importantly what hasn't) and help you create a strategic approach that best fits your organization. And I'll be there to celebrate your successes, even the wins you can't share in public.
