The Journey Behind Lead the Journey
Navigating Complexity
Chaos seems to find me. And honestly, I love figuring out how to organize it. I'm a numbers and analysis person at heart, but I'm also deeply passionate about understanding people – their stories, their potential, and what unique talents they bring to a team.
A Diverse Leadership Landscape
My leadership journey has been anything but linear. From military instruction to environmental consulting, from manufacturing to leading a $1B distribution business and guiding a software startup, I've learned that success is rarely about rigid structures.
The Leadership Sweet Spot
The golden thread through my experiences is a simple yet powerful insight: Great leadership lives in the delicate balance between structure and human potential. It's about creating just enough framework to help talented people thrive, without constraining their creativity or sense of ownership.
Beyond the Business World
When my professional world needs a reset, you'll find me in nature. Camping with my crew – my wife, our children, our foster babies, and our wonderfully goofy doodles – reminds me that the most important leadership happens in life's simple, authentic moments. Every journey is unique. Every story matters.
