I help leaders w/ADHD execute ferociously to increase results. I write about the habits, techniques, and science that transforms chaotic overwhelm to calm effective execution. 💪 🔥🚀

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.

ADHD brains don’t follow the rules - they reinvent them.
Creativity doesn’t wait for focus. It bursts out of chaos.

Your mind zigzags, connects impossible dots, and sees ideas others miss.
That’s why ADHD people create work that feels alive, bold, and unforgettable.

Ideas often come in the middle of movement - a walk, a song, a messy desk, or even while you’re procrastinating.
The secret isn’t stopping the chaos - it’s harnessing it.

The trick? Catch the spark immediately.

Keep a notebook. 
Record voice memos. 
Sketch messy ideas.

One small action can turn a flash of inspiration into a masterpiece.

ADHD isn’t a limitation.

It’s a creative engine fueled by curiosity, energy, and unexpected connections.
When you embrace your unique attention patterns, hyperfocus becomes a superpower, turning scattered thoughts into projects that shine.

And don’t forget the magic of iteration:
 
Let messy ideas grow, fail, shift, and evolve.
Creativity with ADHD isn’t linear - it’s explosive, unpredictable, and unforgettable.

Elite Sales Professionals with ADHD

Confidence is key for a Sales Professional to achieve a fulfilling life and career.
Sales Professionals facing the challenge of ADHD have the sometimes daunting task of overcoming low self esteem and desire to lay low and stay small. They don't trust themselves. 

I have a tried and true, inspiring process that will help answer the following questions:  Who am I? What do I want and what do I stand for? These answers help you gain confidence; you become bold, confident and you might even say, powerful.  All this leads to a meaningful career, life, relationships and experiences.

Reach out to me and I'll explain. Don't procrastinate!  Stop living below your potential!
