I help people flip the script on the corporate status quo by finding their focus and making themselves clear.

I believe with the right tactics, anyone can win at work through better communication. That’s why I wrote a book called Clarity Wins to teach you how to rise above the noise and get referred. In my second book, The Point, I train you to use my Clarity Fuel Formula, backed by practical brain science, to communicate with clarity and focus.

My career spans three decades, progressing from a sales and marketing director (even creating my employer's first website in 1992), to a trusted consultant for clients like Pfizer, Novartis, and GSK. But if we rewind even further back, I actually started out at Vanderbilt University in their esteemed astronomy program. I aspired to tell the story of the universe through the stars, but quickly realized that I’m better suited for storytelling with words instead of numbers.

My passion for communication landed me in sales, where I wrestled with impostor syndrome despite all appearances of success. It was only when I began to identify and embrace my unique strengths instead of dwelling on my weaknesses that my true calling became clear. Now I get to focus full-time on helping others discern, articulate and maximize their own strengths as an author, speaker, facilitator and trainer.

When I’m not training professionals on leadership & communication, I enjoy spending time with Sandy, my wife of 42 years - a lifelong educator herself - and sharing my love of the great outdoors and photography with my five boys (check out my son Nathan’s work at @whiskeywithaview).
