I help Business Owners compensate great, without giving away equity!After playing a vital role in the success of a consulting firm in Shanghai, China, where I was a key employee, the owners simply got it wrong when it came to compensation. Poor timing, giving away too much equity, and overpromising incentives led to the demise of a firm that would have made us all millionaires.This experience was the basis of why I wanted to help business owners and key employees find success and win together. More about me... way before China, after trying my hand at stand-up comedy, I cold-called my way into the writer’s room on NBC’s television show “The Office”. A great experience that I now realize was my first insight into the impact a key employee has in a company. --> Read about the foresight that made Steve Carrell and The Office a winning team in my book Buckets: How Business Legends Keep Their Hustlers.I graduated with a B.S. from Siena College in New York and attended Bond University in Queensland, Australia where my first hands-on business project was also my first major flop as a business owner. But as Churchhill once said, “Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.”Today, I'm the Founder and Director of Intuitive Compensation Group based in Charlotte, N.C., and a top-rated Vistage speaker. I'm the author of two books with a third on the way. My family and I love to travel, dream of owning a farm, and working on cars (okay, maybe that's just my thing). I always dip my chicken wings in blue cheese dressing and I never miss an opportunity to shout, Go Bills!
