I help ADHD founders build their dream business without the constant doubt, overwhelm, analysis and rollercoaster of chaos.

I’ve built and sold companies.
Sold millions to countless Fortune 500 brands. 
Led teams to the Inc. 500 — twice.
Hired and managed dozens of people. 

But none of that compares to what I do now.

Because for most of my career, I looked successful on paper… while silently battling chaos behind the scenes.

As a founder with ADHD, 
I lived in cycles of burnout, 
inconsistency, 
and confusion. 

I knew I had potential but I couldn’t access it consistently.
And I couldn’t lead the way I wanted to.

That realization was that my brain wasn’t broken, just wired differently, changed everything.

I went deep: therapy, coaching, performance frameworks, behavioral science.
And rebuilt my life from the inside out.

Now, I run Accountable, a coaching platform and community for visionary founders who want to scale with structure, lead with clarity, and operate at their full capacity.

I help founders break the cycles holding them back:

⛔ Overwhelm, distraction, and emotional reactivity
⛔ Team misalignment, conflict, or delegation struggles
⛔ Constant firefighting and decision fatigue

And instead build:

✅ Calm, confident leadership
✅ Clear systems for execution and delegation
✅ Habits that drive focus, momentum, and scale

If you're a startup founder who knows you're capable of more — but can’t seem to unlock it — I’d love to connect.

Because when you shift your internal operating system, everything else follows.

DM me. 

Let’s talk.

On a mission to help leaders | Grow their Command Presence | Sharing content about leadership and influence | Posting about the journey

Developing leaders who can be trusted when pressure is high and clarity is low.

Retired Infantry Officer with 21+ years of command experience, Bronze Star recipient, former commander, and TEDx speaker translating battle-tested leadership into real-world application across classrooms, teams, and communities.

I currently serve as a Teaching Assistant in elementary education, working daily with students to build discipline, confidence, communication, and character at the foundation level, where leadership habits are first formed.

Leadership isn’t theory.
It’s modeled, practiced, and repeated.

My work focuses on:

• Command presence without ego
• Decision-making under uncertainty
• Trust-based leadership and service
• Developing people before developing outcomes

Whether guiding students, mentoring adults, or speaking from the stage, the mission is consistent:

Build leaders who serve first, think clearly, and act decisively.

If leadership development, character formation, or keynote speaking is relevant,
send a message. Let’s start the conversation.

"It's not about me, it never has been, it never will be."
