I build systems that help leaders and families reclaim time, create clarity, and move with confidence.For over a decade, I’ve worked at the intersection of operations and HR — leading teams, advising executives, and helping organizations scale without chaos. Before stepping into HR, I ran manufacturing plants, owned a P&L, and learned firsthand that success doesn’t come from working harder — it comes from building better systems.Today, I help leaders and organizations do the same:
Turn noise into clarity.
Turn goals into operating systems.
Turn effort into sustainable performance.
My work centers around two frameworks:
Launchpad OS — personal systems for time, clarity, and capacity.
Advance OS — leadership systems for alignment, accountability, and growth.
These frameworks have helped hundreds of leaders and teams design structure without rigidity — so they can move faster, lead better, and protect what matters most.But this isn’t just theory for me.I’m a husband and dad of three. The same principles that steady global teams help my family stay grounded at home. We use systems to protect margin — for faith, family, fitness, and freedom.That’s what Lead You, First is all about. Building a life that runs on clarity, not chaos — at work and at home.You can start by reading my articles and grabbing a copy of Trim 10 Hours Off Your Workweek.
I’m wired to protect, to lead, and to build. But I’ve learned—that empowering people is so much better. And, I love sharing what I learn so that others understand what to expect.
People often describe me as direct, grounded, and dependable. I take that seriously.
Clear direction, not chaos. I’m decisive, action-oriented, and systems-driven. I don’t like noise, and I don’t waste time.
Strength that protects, not overpowers. I care deeply—about my family, my work, and the people I serve. I use my voice and leadership to create safety, not fear.
Tools that help, not overwhelm. Whether it’s a time tracker, a habit system, or a real estate roadmap, I create resources built to give you peace—not pressure.
But I’m not here to impress anyone. I’m here to do meaningful work, serve my people, and build a life worth remembering. I believe leadership is about stewardship — of priorities, people, and purpose.Learn more about my frameworks, articles or connect on LinkedIn.
That note from a client is why I built this.
