Mike Sharrow, CEO of C12, recognized my resilience and leadership by dubbing me the "Ultimate Buffalo," a nod to my approach of facing challenges head-on, much like buffaloes charging into storms to minimize discomfort.Awards and Community Service:My dedication extends beyond corporate success into community service and volunteering, where I've held significant roles such as Vice President of the Soccer Industry Council of America, Vice Chairman of the FBI Citizen Academy, and a board member for various organizations including Dallas Cup Inc. These roles, coupled with my hands-on involvement in charitable efforts and ministry, reflect my holistic approach to leadership — one that balances business acumen with a heart for community.Personal Philosophy:At the core of my professional ethos is a belief in the power of coaching, a practice I've cherished since my early days as an athlete and later as a Division 1 Soccer and Baseball player at Baylor.
