Bringing Truth to Life...

When I was a high school athlete, competing in sports provided me with a safe and empowering environment that combated the abuse and dysfunction I experienced at home. It was a conduit that brought peace, purpose,
and power to a life that otherwise had no hope.

 

Sports and competition gave me a second chance at life, providing me with the right training to not only
be a successful athlete, but a successful and impactful leader in society. Through my professional science and health background, my teaching and business experience, and my passion for politics, faith, and coaching, I use our positive environment at Blaze to advocate for the complete athlete and provide them with as many opportunities as possible to be a successful leader along their journey.  I'm blessed to have had the opportunity to support thousands of families and their athletes by helping to develop fearless leaders who give back to our communities personally and professionally.

 

Through each chapter of life, I've learned valuable Truths that have gifted me a deeper capacity for compassion, wisdom full of common sense, and a drive to stand for your and my constitutional freedoms. Bathed in passion, experience, Christian values, and vision, I'm TRAINING CHAMPIONS by bringing Truth to Life.  Find these nuggets of Truth about Leadership through Sports, Business Politics, Faith, and Family in my Training Champions Writings and Podcast that will help us all Blaze our own trail of Success and Be The Best that we can be. #BeTheFlame
