Growing up farming and ranching, the work was hard, the days were long, and the lessons were real. I did not always love it, but there are many days I sure do miss it. That foundation taught me resilience, problem-solving, and the value of persistence—qualities that have carried into my life as a business owner, consultant, instructor, instructional designer, researcher, and broght me through some mental and physical health challenges.
My path has taken me through a wide range of experiences—from building businesses, consulting with nonprofits, directing marekting strategy, building websites, teaching in higher education, designing courses, and pursuing a PhD. Each stage has challenged me in different ways, shaped my perspective, and deepened my belief in resilience, problem-solving, and persistence.
I speak on topics such as:
- Branding and marketing
- Productivity and expertise
- Instructional design and learning technologies
- Individual and organizational change
- Personal Growth
What I bring isn’t just theory—it’s lived experience. I’ve failed before, more than once—and at times I earned those failures. I’ve succeeded before, more than once—and at times I earned those successes. I know how both feel, and I believe sharing those experiences can help others find clarity, resilience, and focus on what matters most.
