Since 1999, I’ve been a subject matter expert in elite-level mentorship and talent development, running one of the most successful pipelines in the nation. A 1995 graduate of the United States Naval Academy with a degree in Computer Science and holder of an MBA in Management and Ceramics from the University of Michigan, I bring both technical expertise and creative discipline to my mentorship approach. I’ve personally mentored over 300 pilots across the Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps, and Warrant Officer programs. More than 100 have earned their tridents as Navy SEALs, 20+ became Green Berets, 15+ Army Rangers, and 20+ medical doctors have been accepted into top-tier medical schools. My track record also includes over 200 appointments to service academies like West Point, the Naval Academy, and the Air Force Academy. As a trusted subject matter expert, I’ve helped young men and women master the process, develop the mindset, and execute with precision. For over 25 years, I’ve built champions—and I’m just getting started.
