My Story…
September 6, 2009 will go down in history as the “Day of Infamy” in my life! This is personal…
It was the day that my financial business partner – who was commited to infuse our business with the 2 million+ dollars previously agreed upon to build a new facility and provide additional capital for operations – came to me and told me that he did not have the money to invest. In fact, he had no money at all and that the whole agreement we had (including the banks and car manufacturers) that he had a net worth of 22 million dollars and was ready – signed, sealed, and delivered, to move forward with our enterprise – was a total scam! A complete CON job!
WHAT? You’re kidding I hope, I said. He looked at me sheepishly and replied (to take the con even further) don’t worry, I’ve got your back. I’m going to Florida to meet with a friend that owes me a favor and this will all be taken care of. A few days later he left for Florida…and he was in the wind!
I was beyond devastated. I had no business, no ‘job’, and no income, over night. I couldn’t imagine going home that night to tell my wife that the fabulous life that we had been creating and living together, just blew up!
Enter, stage left, a financial and emotional meltdown! My journey from fallen to redemption was destined to last well over a decade. I learned immediately that I was over 2 million dollars in debt and problems that were insurmountable on my own.
I remember walking into the business the next day, breaking down and falling on my knees asking “WHY”? Where and what did I do wrong? The answers came swiftly and unrelenting. My past actions and decisions had brought me to this ‘place’ of agony. Why was I so blind?
I won’t bore you with the rest of the story (even though it would make a great movie); what’s important here is the journey back to freedom and redemption and how divine intervention proved to be the only way back. Today I can honestly and wholeheartedly say that that one day, September 6, 2009 was the best day of my life…
Today, I help others who have also fallen from “high places” and don’t know how to rise again, to claw back from devastation with grace, grit, and faith.

My Credo
I am a builder of lives, not just businesses.
I exist to awaken the buried greatness in people who’ve been beaten down by life, betrayal, or burnout.
I know what it means to lose everything – and I know the power of rising again, stronger, wiser, and more aligned with God’s purpose.
I reject the world’s obsession with shallow success. I stand for true transformation – rooted in faith, forged in adversity, and focused on legacy.
I coach from the scars, not the pedestal. I speak the truth with love. I call out purpose where others only see pain.
I am here to raise up bold, faith-driven leaders who build lives, companies, and futures that glorify God and liberate others.
This is not a business. This is a Calling.
As a Business Coach, I specialize in
Personal Transformation
& Resilience
STRUGGLE & SUFFERING = GROWTH
No one likes to struggle and suffer, especially if you see it as this huge burden with the feeling of being stuck with no where to go. Our greatest “teacher” is learning what we go through in the process of struggling. I learned the true value of suffering through a natural self-examination exercise that we all go through when life deals us an unexpected ‘blow.
The first thing I asked myself was why… why did this happen? Without delving too deep and getting too anal with my analysis, I needed to keep it simple. What decision did I make (the cause) to create that condition (effect). The answer came and it was clear that even though at the time it appeared to be the best and somewhat justifiable decision, it clearly was the wrong decision and it proved to be near fatal.
The next step was going to be crucial because my decisions going forward would determine the timeline, in other words how long would it take me to ‘get out’ of the quagmire I’d created and what the best way forward would be.
Unfortunately, I made the decision to condemn myself as an evil human being, not worthy of much, and a loser. This put me out into the wilderness of life, where I wandered around much longer than I thought I would have to and also not realizing that even though I felt separated from all things, my condition(s) were still within my control but I just couldn’t find the steering wheel.
This is where the ‘teaching’ and the ‘learning’ from experience enters center stage. Since everything happens for a reason, that reason must reveal a life lesson to be learned. When a life lesson is learned, it’s like an ‘ah ha’ moment which then becomes “Growth” to your soul. This is why struggling and suffering is so important in life – no struggle, no growth! no suffering, no growth! The next time you find yourself struggling, rejoice and know that the best is yet to come!
I spent over a decade in the wilderness, and I suspect since I am not much different than everyone else when it comes to having feelings and emotions, I finally decided that my time of penance was up – the punishment (time spent in the wilderness) had fit the crime committed.
Hope, Faith, and Self-forgiveness
The process, once the initial ‘blow’ wears off a bit, begins with one word…HOPE. Hope doesn’t get the credit it deserves, but it is the only thing we have to grab onto when we have hit ‘rock bottom’. At this point we have a choice – do we choose PITY or do we choose HOPE? We can live without pity since it is a poor excuse for living, but without HOPE, we are sentenced to doom and gloom. So, embracing the truth of HOPE, we begin our grand ascent toward redemption and a new and better life! As we soar higher our HOPE turns to FAITH. Faith establishes a new belief and we begn to realize the value and need to forgive ourselves our own trespasses. FAITH is HOPE all grown up – you cannot become and adult without first being a child.
