Where It All Began...
As an inspirational motivational speaker focused on Academic and Life Success, I've spent over a decade speaking at schools, churches, educational conferences, juvenile detention centers and teacher training seminars.
With over 20+ years of being an educator, and corporate experience as an engineer and a Progress Advisor, developing future leaders. I have gained first-hand insight into what it takes to not only inspire young and old men but also fuel them with the push necessary for success.
Also, I have had my own struggle with self-doubt.
​
As amazing as my accomplishments,
I did not always think that I could.
I struggled as many do with low self-esteem and issues of self-image.
You see… I grew up with "doubt bouts" because of a birth defect that made me feel insecure and often,
I thought, “I can’t… I won’t… and I’ll never!”
This thinking kept me fearful and doubtful about my academics, my life and my future family.
However, after hearing (and understanding) a few words from family, mentors, books and coaches; learning strategies for life success and personal achievement, I’ve turned my test into my testimony and you can too!
