Growing up in an entrepreneurial household, I learned the importance of planning and executing to achieve growth and success. However, I also became aware of the challenges and limitations of running your own business. Serving in the US Merchant Marine taught me the values of discipline and accountability, which are crucial for achieving any goal or success. For close to 30 years, Iโ€™ve worked with hundreds of entrepreneurial business owners and their leadership teams. Together, we focused on vision and strategy, employee efficiency, customer satisfaction and more. In 2016, I witnessed the transformative power of EOS in my wifeโ€™s business. Over two years, it significantly improved the business in every meaningful way, leading to consistent double-digit revenue and profit growth. Most importantly, it allowed her to enjoy a better, more fulfilling life with a balanced work schedule. The moment I realized that my wife was no longer a slave to her business, I knew that EOS was the solution to many challenges faced by entrepreneurs. My passion is to help as many entrepreneurs and their leadership teams as possible achieve their visions and live a better life.
