I’ve spent the past 35 years building businesses, learning lessons the hard way, and figuring out what really matters. I started in electronics, drawn to the thrill of building things and solving problems. That led me into entrepreneurship, where I’ve launched and led multiple companies—nine at last count—through good times, tough breaks, and everything in between.
My first business failed. It wasn’t a small stumble—it was a full crash. I lost my home, declared bankruptcy, and found myself deep in debt. But that failure turned out to be one of my best teachers. It forced me to stop pretending and start learning. I saw how mindset shapes everything—how you think under pressure, how you lead through chaos, how you grow when things fall apart.
Since then, I’ve been building again. Not just businesses, but better ways of thinking, leading, and living. The teams I work with aren’t just there to hit targets. They’re there to grow, challenge each other, and enjoy the process. I believe success isn’t just about results—it’s about building people up along the way.
Faith has reshaped how I see success. Becoming a Christian gave me a new lens: it’s not just about what you achieve, but how you live, who you serve, and what you leave behind. Now, my focus is helping others grow—whether that’s through leadership, mentoring, or simply sharing what I’ve learned from the sharp edges of real life.
If there’s one thing I want to pass on, it’s this: setbacks don’t disqualify you. They qualify you. They prepare you to lead with more humility, more honesty, and a lot more resilience.
