Founder
For over three decades I've been passionate about elevating others, serving this country as a decorated FBI Special Agent, U.S. Army officer, and West Point graduate. I have significant leadership experience being an FBI senior executive in multiple FBI offices.
Fortunate to have delivered presentations to thousands around the globe, and I regularly lecture at Cornell University and West Point. I've been a keynote speaker at numerous Fortune 500 companies, and numerous law enforcement events.
Working on the highest performing teams I was integral in resolving some of the FBI’s most perilous operations - serving as an Operator on the elite FBI Hostage Rescue Team (HRT) deploying on hundreds of high-risk missions domestically as well as overseas in Iraq and Afghanistan.
I then made the unique transition to become a Negotiator in the Crisis Negotiation Unit (CNU) where I matched wits and negotiated with kidnappers, pirates, and terrorists. I persuaded the Boston Marathon bomber to peacefully surrender.
I've appeared on TV and podcasts resulting in hundreds of thousands of downloads. My story about a hostage crisis received recognition from Spotify as the Top Episode of the FBI Retired Case File Review in 2023.
Over the past year, my LinkedIn posts have garnered over 175,000 views.
