My passionate purpose is to improve organizations and lives by providing the advice, tools and motivation to transcend obstacles in pursuit of business and personal success.Working since the day after college graduation, I've amassed 33-years of successes, struggles, achievements, and an occasional "why did I do that?!"​ to conclude that self-understanding and continuous learning are key to creating a successful life and business.I spent my first 14-years in the marketing and advertising field before embarking on a 19-year and beyond venture with my wonderful business partners at Stop At Nothing, Inc. Our consulting firm specializes in Leadership Development, Change Management, and Team and Organizational Effectiveness.I am forever grateful for my family: Nancy (wife and business partner), and 20-somethings--Laura Jane, Teddy and Scott!In October 2014, I was honored to deliver a 16-minute speech at the TEDxJacksonville conference on the perils of negative thought patterns provoked by information overload in a rapidly changing society. This terrifying and exhilarating experience allowed me to express a message in support of joyful living in a chaotic world.Aside from my core organizational and leadership development practice, I also speak to large groups.
