I provided spiritual guidance, inspiration, and mentorship during the 2014/2015 Championship Season. I would meet with home and away players for an hour before each game to talk through personal, family, and professional challenges. I facilitated group discussions that focused on holistic living and players’ responsibilities as community role models with a highly visible platform that could be used to transform lives. I also received motivational and fundraising speaking invitations from various organizations including Lions Clubs International and Dowd Associates. These speeches inspired high net worth individuals to give to various charitable causes, including: College scholarships for underserved youth, clean water for villages in Africa, and Operation Ceasefire.

After frequently visiting to the 100-year old community anchor institution since the age of 5, I was committed to preventing the oldest Christian bookstore in the nation from going out of business. With the help of Rhonda Jackson, we purchased the company from bankruptcy liquidators for $125K using savings and creative financing to aggregate cash payment due within 10 days of signing term sheet. We sold books and supplies to individuals, churches, faith-based organizations, and prisons throughout the Western United States. The following are some more highlights: - Created and implemented turn-around plan that required the closing of five of the seven stores to focus on expanding the customer base at the remaining two stores with indicators of greater growth potential. - Learned on the job and by working part-time at national chain competitor part-time for nine months, resulting in proper inventory management, bookstore operation, appropriate hiring of team members, and addition of café to store - Managed 6-15 employees to grow revenues from $500K to $1.1M by negotiating discounted rates with publishers, creating an online presence, and positioning the bookstore as a community champion with programs to feed the homeless, create safe places, and host fun family
