Bring Me to Your Stage
Best-selling Author & 9-Figure Entrepreneur
I show leaders what’s possible when they combine high-performance habits with world-class execution.
My journey started at 300 pounds with no clear future in front of me. I rebuilt my health, built a category-defining company from the ground up, and led it all the way through a 9-figure strategic exit. Today, I share the real lessons behind that transformation; the leadership, discipline, culture, and growth principles that helped me go from surviving to thriving.
Event planners bring me in when they want their audience to walk away with:
rocket_launch A leadership mindset rooted in personal responsibility and resilience
rocket_launch Practical, implement-today frameworks to elevate performance and culture
rocket_launch A relatable and inspiring story of health, reinvention, and growth
rocket_launch Clear steps to become a stronger leader, build stronger teams, and create stronger companies
My keynotes blend story, strategy, and actionable insight — designed to energize a room, challenge assumptions, and help leaders show up as their best self in life, business and community.
