Passion for Adventure, Team Building, and Coaching

Whether it's delivering a keynote on smart building technology, coaching an athlete through their first 200-mile gravel race, or recording a podcast episode with a fine bourbon in hand — my motivation is connecting people to their purpose and developing teams that achieve more together.

As a Workplace Field CTO at Cisco, iPEC-certified coach (CPC, ELI-MP), USAC Level 3 cycling coach, and founder of MomentumEQ and Ordinary Epics, I bring together technology leadership, endurance coaching, and a deep belief that our best work happens when we're connected to what matters most. Based in Jackson, Mississippi.

“Life is not a problem to be solved but an adventure to be lived.”
