Their expertise includes daily cost-reduction strategies and aligning team members with roles for optimal success.

Currently, I mentor and coach dozens of businesses in the Service and Manufacturing sectors, helping them reach the next level by anticipating future trends and opportunities.

Exponential sales growth demands innovative strategy, open-minded leadership, and calculated risk management. As a Senior General Manager and Senior Advisor for many divisions across the U.S.

I leveraged deep expertise in sales management, P&L oversight, supply chain logistics, process optimization, and team development to drive revenue growth. With a strong track record of aligning goals to boost sales and market share, My passion has always been turning the business visions into actionable results. Never says the word ‘CAN’T’

Career highlights include:

Spearheading expansions into new markets, achieving multi-million-dollar sales while increasing capacity in key regions.

Navigating market challenges to increase profitability, even during economic downturns and the pandemic. Understanding the focus on the challenges post the pandemic on how businesses need to adjust in mindset to achieve high results without adding a new system.

Developing leadership across divisions, fostering a culture of growth and professional advancement.

Revolutionizing sales strategies through mindset and psychological training, resulting in a 53% surge in sales. Making the small shift to maximize quick results and focusing on the critical drivers in a business to give a zero risk by having them believe in their team and the business they built. 300% guarantee just by showing up.

I focus on gratitude, which shapes how I see life—through family, nature, sports, and the perspective that comes from shrinking the world. The 300% guarantee I offer in working with businesses allows me to give back what I once lacked but now deeply value.

Once I found it, there was no turning back. Always focus forward.”
