From the basketball courts of the University of Kentucky to 38+ years in the high-pressure financial services space, and now behind the wheel of a big rig, my journey has been anything but conventional. Five years ago, I traded my finance career for a trucker hat, becoming an OTR driver. I’ve seen firsthand the challenges and triumphs of the trucking industry, the backbone of our economy, often unseen and unheard. My experience on the road ignited a passion. I saw a critical gap between the C-suite and the cab, a disconnect that is hindering both corporations and their drivers. So, I'm back, not just with my CDL, but with a mission: to bridge that gap. Serving as a leadership consultant, coach, and advisor, I leverage my expertise to help companies understand the needs of their drivers, optimize their operations, and drive tangible growth. I'm also a speaker and author, sharing my unique perspective with audiences across the industry. The Trucking Warrior podcast and newsletter are platforms where I share insights and strategies tailored for the trucking industry. My journey, from finance board rooms to truck stops, may seem unconventional, but it's given me a unique vantage point. I understand the language of leadership and the realities of the road. I speak fluent trucker and fluent executive. And I'm here to translate. Whether you're a company seeking guidance beyond the offering of typical trucking industry consultants, or a truck driver looking to level up your career path, I'm here to help. Let's bridge the gap, one conversation, one strategy, one mile at a time.
