Go From a Job to Hate to a Life You Love

Professional Development Expert, Author, Speaker & Recovering CPA.

TRUSTED BY

I’m a partner at PeopleWorks International in Dallas, TX, where I head our leadership development practice. Alongside this role, I co-authored "The Edge: How to Stand Out by Showing You’re All In" and co-host the "How to Lead" podcast with my close friend, Clay Scroggins.

My passion? Transforming your relationship with work. Achieving work-life balance isn't about more time off or flexible schedules but rather fostering a healthier relationship with work itself. For me, if work isn't working, life won't either.

Married since 2003, I’m a proud father of two boys and a cherished dog. A Clemson University grad, I also hold a quirky "Ducktorate Degree" from Disney University (yes, it's real, but no, it's not a big deal). And let's not forget, I’m a recovering CPA, which fully explains why, other than playing golf, I generally prefer to be indoors.
