ABOUT ME

The Expert Adviser

Throughout the years, I’ve earned a reputation for being one of the best Cultural Proficiency and Equity based consultants on the West Coast. Whether one on one, in small groups, large auditoriums, or remotely via ZOOM, I have a passion for working with organizations to properly assess their level of cultural proficiency and then train, assist and support them in order to improve their understanding of equity, climate and overall culture of their organization.

My professional coaching career began as a Division 1 student-athlete where I quickly realized, that you have to perpetually learn, adapt and evolve to compete at a high level. This foundational lesson soon translated over to my early work as an educator, that drove me to pursue my graduate degrees, that gave me context and confidence to become a school founder, which equipped me to turn around and invigorate a city’s historical high school from the brink of closure, which thrust me into a position of community advocate and evolved my leadership skills that has suited me for several C Suite executive positions within multiple school districts across the state.  My career’s path and desire to impact communities in a positive way has sparked me to translate these experiences and best practices into an entrepreneurship and develop a private consultancy of professional services I am deeply passionate about.

Having first-hand personal and professional successes addressing and ultimately overcoming challenges has given me credibility with a multitude of different audiences that disarms and allows for discussions to be had and understanding to occur.
In short, I have advised, coached, and supported over 150 businesses, leading leaders and CMO's, in roles ranging from urban school principal, to small business owner to keynote speaker, to district associate superintendent, chief academic officer and most importantly husband and father.
Whether you are a new or experienced leader, dealing with community challenges or staff members, experiencing tough times with your team, or just want to continue to improve relationships and culture, I have a proven track record of success in a myriad of industries and 23 years of real world leadership experience.
