Testimonials

Darin LaCoursiere

CEO Endeavor Communications

I interviewed multiple coaches. First you were the most genuine person. Your struggles were very similar. You broke free to become a Naval officer and served your country. You took that experience to also become a successful CEO. I knew you would challenge me and my team and push us out of our comfort zones.

Krys Weyand

CEO Santa Cruz Properties

I needed somebody tough to help me with my family business/board and you seemed like the perfect fit.

Aundrea Godsave

Your confidence in our team, and your ability to help us find our path to greatness.

Deb Reardanz

Why I chose to work with you is your no-nonsense approach and my confidence that you will tell it like it is even when it’s not what I want to hear. Your confidence in the process and your previous experience. I sense that you will hold us accountable and that you will provide a lot of organization to what might otherwise feel like a messy process.

Erik Maurer

Managing Partner, Prospect Partners

Your candor and transparency always help me on Pinnacle and Culture Index.

Mike Moorman

CEO ERP Suites

We wanted someone who had experience taking companies from 20 Million to over 50 Million. Your personality is another reason we went with you. We needed someone with professionalism, keep us on track, and force us to look deep at our goals and our actions to achieving our goals. Thirdly, your experience as a Vistage Chair and speaker was a major plus for us.
