We help professionals, emerging executives, and organizational leaders better understand their unique strengths, define their direction, and lead with greater confidence and purpose.
We believe that long-term success is not created through generic formulas or one-size-fits-all development. It comes from understanding who you are, how you are uniquely wired to contribute, and what environments allow you to perform at your highest level. Our process creates a structured environment for honest reflection, strategic thinking, accountability, and meaningful growth—transforming self-awareness into actionable progress.
At Strategic Edge, our mission is to help people unlock their potential and create a life and career aligned with their own purpose, vision, and values. Whether through individualized coaching or the collaborative support of The Circle, we are committed to helping our clients elevate their leadership, expand their impact, and gain the clarity needed to move confidently into their next chapter.
If you are ready to gain a deeper understanding of yourself, sharpen your direction, and develop the mindset and support system needed for meaningful growth, we invite you to explore how Strategic Edge can help you gain your strategic edge.
About the President
I am a seasoned executive, entrepreneur, and leadership coach who believes leadership is best learned through experience—not theory alone. Beyond studying leadership and personal development, I have lived it. Over an 18-year career, I advanced from an entry-level role to Chief Executive Officer, leading an organization of more than 50 employees, overseeing a $45 million operating budget, and managing a 20 year capital program total approximately $750 million.
I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Engineering and a Master of Public Administration with a focus on leadership and organizational development. As a lifelong learner, I have earned multiple leadership certifications and continue to refine my approach through real-world application and continuous study.
In addition to my executive career, I am the founder of two businesses, where I apply the same strategic clarity, accountability, and people-first leadership principles I teach others. My leadership and professional contributions have been recognized byinclusion in Warren Buffett's, Who’s Who in America.
Through Strategic Edge, I enjoy helping professionals and organizations accelerate their growth by identifying their unique abilities, aligning their work with their strengths, and leading with confidence and purpose.
