I was born and raised just outside Norwich, New York, before moving to the Oregon countryside at age 14. After high school, I began a distinguished career in the military, serving first in the Army as a Combat Engineer and later in the Navy in Intelligence. My service included multiple deployments overseas, at sea, and boots on the ground in Iraq. After 22+ years of combined service, I retired with honor.

Since retiring from the military, I have pursued my interests as a public speaker, sharing a wealth of stories and life experiences from around the world. My talks are engaging, inspiring, and motivating, offering a unique perspective on life, leadership, business, motivation, and personal growth.
