Professional Highlights
I am MAD (Making a Difference) as a Results-oriented Business Executive Coach, Trusted Advisor, and Management Consultant. I help people and organizations be the BEST THEY CAN BE. As one of Gazelles Scaling Up Coaches on 6 continents, I deliver AMBITIOUS RESULTS TO CEOs and their Executive Teams and provide a SATISFACTION GUARANTEE. I Implement a SUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENT PROCESS that results in reducing time by CEO managing the business, having more fun, getting dramatically better growth in Sales and Profits, and enabling them to sell and have a viable exit plan. My clients grow 2+ times as fast as their market, have 2-3 times the cash flow and profit, and 5-10 times the value of their competitors. One client recently sold his Scaled Up business for 7.5X EBITDA after growing revenues from $20,00,000 to almost $50,000,00. As a CEO/Owner, I did a leveraged buyout of an Office Products company with Venture Capital Partner, grew it 80% in 3 years, and sold for 6X purchase price.

Personal Highlights
I am a loving Husband, Father of 5, Grandfather of 9, Great-Grandfather of 3, and not ready to retire. I am about continuing to Make a Difference, being the best that I can be, and helping others (who want to) be the best that they can be. Dedicated Rotarian, former Boy Scout(Life for Life-2 merit badges short of Eagle, one of my biggest failures), and addicted to Golf, Fishing, and Travel. Still very involved with Navy alumni and supporting Veterans through MOWW (Military Order of World Wars), Naval Academy Alumni Association, and several charities. Looking forward to my 55th Naval Academy class reunion this year. Never thought life would be this good at this age and feel very blessed to be alive, an American, Veteran, Texan, and a Gazelles Certified Coach still having fun.
