President, SBS Consulting Inc.
SBS Consulting provides strategic planning, senior program management, executive coaching, process improvement, subject matter expert services, and sales and marketing-consulting services to commercial customers, government organizations and program offices, and educational institutions.
I am a business adviser, executive coach, and facilitator with a passion for making a difference in the professional success and personal lives of business and not-for-profit executives.
I have lived in leadership roles for my entire life. For the last 10 years of my military career, and for my entire post-military career, I have successfully led large and small programs and businesses, with profit-and-loss responsibility for budgets ranging from $1M to $450M. Early in my post-military career, I became a student of leadership, management, and selling psychology and still teach and facilitate in those areas.
My personal passion is making a difference in the lives of those around me, through my coaching, facilitation, consulting, and training; and through my involvement in community initiatives that make the world a better place one life and one business at a time.
