Johnson County Community College

Drawing from 20+ years of executive experience, I teach leadership and business courses that bridge theory with real-world application. My background in leading diverse teams and driving organizational transformation provides students with authentic insights into modern leadership challenges.

As a published author of “Psychology of Technology” and active contributor to leadership discourse on both LinkedIn and Medium, I’m passionate about developing leaders who can navigate complexity with both technical understanding and emotional intelligence.

“Teaching the art and science of leadership through experience, not just textbooks.”
