About Me

I hold a Master’s degree in Human Communication from Abilene Christian University.  I am formerly a Teacher, Athletic Coach, and Principal for 30 years.  During my Athletic Coaching days, I amassed over 500 wins in various sports and lead my Girls Softball Teams to 6 Texas Association of Private and Parochial Schools (TAPPS) State Championships.  During that time I led, mentored, and coached teachers, colleagues, parents, and students to be the best they can be. 

I have worked with several different companies, CEOs, middle managers, business teams, entrepreneurs, and individuals leading them to be successful, stronger leaders in their own world.  I am the Men’s Ministry Leader, certified Retreat Leader and Facilitator for The Crucible Project; a world-wide ministry committed to helping men and women be authentic and live with integrity in order to lead their families and others in their world.

I reside in Granbury, Texas with my wife Kathy.  I have three children a son Reed and two daughters Brailyn and Taite. 

My personal mission statement is:  To lead people daily to see and apply their God-given goodness and talents so that they may live powerful, authentic lives and lead others around them to do the same. 

What do I want to accomplish?  Let me tell you what I don’t do: 

• I don’t criticize.
• I don’t tell you, “You are doing it wrong.” 
• I’m not looking to see if you belong in your position or not. 
• I’m not going to change who you are.     

Here is some of what I do:

• I listen to you.
• I assess where you are.
• I look at what those around you expect.
• I look at who you are.
• I build on your strengths and coach/consult/mentor where you perceive you are weak.
• I challenge you to stretch into new ways of thinking and communicating.
• I help you unlock what is already there.

When I coached girls’ softball, in my early years I would make all girls swing the bat the same.  This was unsuccessful.  Every girl is built differently and they bring with them some deep muscle memory from past play.  So, I began taking what they had and making tweaks to their swing.  Each one left hitting the ball better than when she started.   Take what is already there and build upon it.  That is what I do. 

You are in your position for a reason.  Let’s work together and make you great!

As I am working with you, my personal values will be evident but not overbearing.  I love Jesus and follow God.  I am a Bible believer.  I am not here to thump you over the head with the Bible.  I am not here to “evangelize” anyone.  It is my belief that if I live my life, as the man God made me to be, then my life will show this belief and possibly those around me will ask.  I will not judge you, nor steer you in any particular religious direction.  If I were not a Christian, I would still find value in the wisdom and Biblical principles found in Psalms, Proverbs and Ecclesiastes, as well as the teachings of Jesus.  Whether or not you believe in Him, He was wise and His teaching is universal.
