My three decades in the retail food industry taught me a lot about food (I’m great at selecting a ripe cantaloupe) but what I really learned about was people. Engaging with shoppers (especially unhappy ones), coaching and training employees, and mentoring emerging leaders are skills I’ve developed over the years.
Today my goal is to help others find the right path to their own best future. After leaving the corporate life I wanted to find something that would allow me to fulfill my interest in helping others realize their dreams.
There is a saying among cyclists: “If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go with someone else.” That’s how I feel about coaching – I get to help others in their journey toward self-sufficiency and show them paths they never knew existed so they can realize their own dreams.
As a SCORE Certified Mentor I added to my skills coach, and my decision to become a Career Ownership Coach with The Entrepreneur’s Source was an easy one, as it gave me a platform and the skills training to accomplish my mission of helping others succeed by finding their best path – no matter where that path leads.
My mantra is “you don’t know what you don’t know,” and my goal is to help you expand your perspective and consider things you haven’t so that you can make informed choices about your future.
I am an avid cyclist, runner, and dog lover. Being a business owner gives the me the time to spend with my wife and teenage daughter.
