I have 20+ years in Operations management with 7 of those years in Australia. I worked with well known companies in Australia such as Campbell Soup Company, Goodman fielder, and Coca-Cola Amatil. I spent over 10 years in various operational positions for companies including Pepsi Cola, Coca Cola Bottling Company, Sherwin Williams and Nestle Beverage Company in the United States.

Throughout my career I have had great opportunities (strikes, restructuring, plant closings, employee morale issues, and poor leadership) to use coaching within change management programs and adversity in the workplace.

I have a BS from Ohio University in Industrial Technology Engineering and received my MBA from Mt. Eliza Business School in Melbourne, Australia. Throughout my career I have always found myself in situations that called for the coaching and development of peers, direct reports and even senior management.

I have done extensive work with the Lominger suite of leadership development products and emotional intelligence coaching that was inspired by the work of Daniel Goleman and the Hay Group. Daniel Goleman defines emotional intelligence as an array of emotional, personal, social abilities and skills that influence ones ability to succeed in coping with environmental demands and pressures. I was certified by the Hay Group in 2001.

I was selected to study with internationally renowned Master Coach, The late Dr. Susan Skiffington, of Sydney, Australia, earning a Certified Master Coach (CMC) designation.

My passion is helping other people achieve their goals and dreams.  I have a team of coaches that are ready to take you and your organization to the next level.
