I Turn Failure Into Fuel.

For nearly two decades, I’ve turned adversity into an asset - rebounding from failed ventures, personal loss, and even homelessness to become a leader who builds culture through resilience.

Today, I speak to organizations and teams who are ready to move beyond burnout, fear of failure, and fractured workplace dynamics. Through storytelling, powerful strategies, and a message grounded in personal transformation, I help audiences reframe challenges and lead with courage, clarity, and compassion.

Because when leaders embrace failure as fuel and model resilience from the top down, the culture shifts - and everything changes.

This is your moment to transform challenge into culture-shaping momentum!

Whether I'm attending a ballet, rooting at baseball and basketball games, or traveling on a family vacation, I always prioritize making precious memories with those closest to me.
