My purpose and passion for The Growth Coach is driven by my personal experience and strong conviction that every business and business owner will benefit from one of our programs. I did not have the advantage of a business coach when I started my first business. Having a coach would have prevented an unnecessary waste of my time, talent and treasure. Now, it is my mission to allow every business owner that I meet to have the opportunity to experience how powerful, effective and affordable our coaching programs are.
Prior to owning a small business I worked in a variety of capacities ranging from a Financial Analyst for the U.S. Army Special Operations Command to practicing as a CPA. I received my master's degree from Saint Louis University and my undergraduate degree from Southeast Missouri State University. My education and professional experience gave me a "good head" for business. My "heart" for business came from being a small business owner.
I am blessed to have a family that includes my wife Sandy and our two sons, Ryan and Andrew.
