From the Floor to the Front: A Leader Forged by Action, Adversity, and Faith
🎯 My Leadership Started on the Floor
My first lessons in leadership weren’t in a boardroom—they were on a roller hockey rink, coaching a group of scrappy teens who just needed a shot. That’s where I discovered the truth: leadership isn’t about control, it’s about belief. And if you cast a clear vision and walk it out with conviction, people will follow—even when the odds say they shouldn’t.
🔥 My Faith Was Forged in Fire
In 2021, I faced my greatest challenge: a battle with COVID that left me hospitalized, fighting for my life with both lungs collapsed. What followed was a miracle recovery—and a deeper calling. I emerged from that fire with a renewed purpose: to help others live boldly, lead intentionally, and take action before the crisis ever comes.
🙌 A Little More Personal…
I’ve been married to my amazing wife Brooke for 19 years. We’re raising three incredible kids—Colin, Carter, and Emersyn—in Colorado Springs. When I’m not speaking or coaching, you’ll find me on the podcast, at the dealership, or cheering from the sidelines with a Bible in one hand and a green Sharpie in the other.

Leadership isn’t about being in charge—it’s about being out front.
