About
Most business speakers teach theory. I run the businesses. I've founded over 30 companies, scaled multiple past 8 figures, and currently lead a team of 450+ people across industries including construction, hospitality, and multi-unit operations. When I take the stage, your audience hears from someone who was on a job site that morning, not someone reading a TED Talk transcript. I've shared the stage with Magic Johnson and delivered keynotes at World of Concrete, where construction leaders walked away with the exact systems I use to run my own companies. My talks are built for owners and operators who are tired of motivational fluff and want a real playbook for scaling, leadership, and getting their life back. What you get when you book me: - A keynote tailored to your audience, not a recycled deck - Real systems and frameworks attendees can implement Monday morning - Stories from 30+ years of building, scaling, and leading teams in the trenches - An engaging stage presence that holds the room and earns the standing ovation - Pre-event collaboration with your team so the talk hits the exact themes you need Your attendees came for a reason. Give them someone who's lived it.
Scaling Without Breaking: The Operator's Playbook
Keynote, Workshop, Session
The keynote for owners and senior leaders stuck in the messy middle of growth, where revenue keeps climbing but profit shrinks, key people quit, and the owner is the bottleneck on every decision. I share the exact systems I've used across 30+ companies to install accountability, develop true leaders inside the organization, and turn revenue growth into real profit and freedom. Audiences walk out with a clear playbook they can put to work the next morning, not a list of feel-good ideas.
Key Takeaways
Audience
Business owners, founders, CEOs, and senior leadership teams of companies in the $2M to $50M revenue range across construction, manufacturing, hospitality, healthcare, franchising, and professional services.

Building a Business That Runs Without You
Keynote, Workshop, Masterclass
A leadership keynote on the systems, hiring decisions, and accountability structures required to step out of daily operations without watching revenue drop. Pulled directly from running 30+ companies and currently leading a team of 450+ people. I cover the real reasons most owners can't take a two-week vacation, the leadership development gaps that keep them stuck, and the operating cadence that lets a business run profitably whether the owner is on site or on a plane.
Key Takeaways
Audience
Founders, owner-operators, and CEOs of companies in the $5M to $25M range who are working too many hours, can't take real time off, and know the business depends on them too much.

The Construction Leader's Scaling Blueprint
Keynote, Workshop, Session
A construction-industry keynote built for contractors, GCs, and trade business owners. I address the scaling pain points unique to the construction world: margin compression as revenue grows, leadership gaps in the field, project chaos, talent retention, and the owner stuck working in the business instead of on it. Delivered at events including World of Concrete. Audiences get real frameworks from someone who's run construction-adjacent businesses, not theoretical advice from outside the industry.
Key Takeaways
Audience
Owners, presidents, and senior leadership of construction companies, general contractors, specialty trade businesses, and multi-location contracting operations.
