Having served our country as a US Naval Officer, I know what it takes to make things run with efficiency and precision. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Biomedical Engineering from Northwestern University and a master’s degree in Business and Management from Webster University, and this training helps me apply an engineer’s problem-solving skills to the business world. For the past 34 years, I have been an entrepreneur, and from 1991 until 2021, I worked in field engineering, sales and management in the medical device industry. When I realized I was ready to combine my professional experience with a passion for coaching and mentoring, I founded The Growth Coach of the Lowcountry. Their approach resonates with me because it helps business owners and managers drive success while prioritizing balance in their lives.
I am certified in The Strategic Mindset© coaching process, which adheres to ethics standards outlined by the International Coaching Federation. I am also certified in administering and interpreting DISC assessments, which is a behavioral analysis tool helpful for unlocking human potential to create stronger teams, leaders, salespeople, and companies.
In addition to my professional work, I’m a volunteer mentor with Big Brothers/Big Sisters, a certified SCORE Mentor, Mt. Pleasant Chamber of Commerce membership committee, Northwestern University Global Ambassador, an Eagle Scout, a triathlete, and a former Boy Scout leader. My wife Beth and I have two college-aged children, Tanner and Jolie. As a family, we have hosted an international student through Rotary International Student Exchange, travelled across the US and in Europe and Central America, and hosted multiple church youth groups.
