My lifelong search for purpose has led me here. My mission is helping individuals and leaders have more intentional and exceptional lives.
I explore personal growth as a Christian who believes anything is possible, a veteran who adapts and overcomes all obstacles, and an ultrarunner just crazy enough to put it all to the test, like running across Tennessee.

My Guiding Principles
- Success does not equal significance. Significance comes from serving others.
- Believe in something greater than yourself. I follow Jesus.
- Own your life.
- If you’re not getting better each day, you’re getting worse.
- Compounding wins over the long term.

My Background
In the Army and Army Reserve, I served in South Korea, Qatar, and Afghanistan. Inspired by mentoring Soldiers, I earned my Bachelor’s and Master’s in Education, teaching high school for five years.
Burned out in K12 education, I refocused myself on teaching others to be better in their careers and fulfilled in their lives.
Always challenging my limits, I’ve run more than 16 ultramarathons, finishing all but four. A recent test of grit was a 35-mile run from my front door to the ocean.
I attempted a pilgrimage along the Appalachian Trail, but injury sent me home after 706 miles. I dream daily of those remaining 1500 miles.
Married and raising a baby girl in Orlando, Florida, every day brings me a new lesson and appreciation for what it means to live a meaningful life.
