ABOUT ME

I’m dedicated to helping businesses, schools, and athletic programs build strong leadership and cohesive teams—unlocking greater productivity, synergy, and success. As a former Division I football coach turned consultant and keynote speaker, I share proven leadership strategies that empower teams and individuals.

YOUR 4th Down: Why You Should Go for It
On the field or in the boardroom, your 4th Down moment demands a bold choice: play it safe or aim higher. By choosing to go for it, you tap into uncharted potential, strengthen collaboration, and pave the way for enduring success.

The A.D.A.P.T. Gameplan
My leadership framework, forged over 40 years of coaching and shaped by two Hall of Fame mentors, includes:

Attitude – Cultivate a winning mindset.
Discipline – Develop consistent habits and routines.
Attention to Detail in Preparation – Elevate performance through meticulous planning.
Perseverance – Overcome adversity with relentless determination.
Touchdowns in Life – Celebrate victories and use them as springboards for even greater achievement.

Proven Principles for Lasting Results
Backed by more than six decades of combined coaching wisdom, these principles have consistently strengthened leadership and unity—transforming groups into high-performing teams in both sports and business.

Ready to Go for It?
I’d be honored to guide your organization, school, or athletic program through your 4th Down moments. If you’re eager to elevate performance, inspire unity, and achieve your own “Touchdowns in Life,” let’s connect and get started.
