Greetings from Northwood, New Hampshire! I am a life-long educator, coach, and motivational speaker. Born and raised in the Granite State, I graduated from Florida Southern College and Central Missouri State University. Currently, I teach Family and Consumer Sciences-better known as Life Skills to inner city middle school students and free-lance blog on the side. Life’s journey has given me incredible “two-wheel” opportunities to compete in prestigious ultra-marathon bicycle races including the 750-mile Paris-Brest-Paris in France and the 714-mile Race Across America qualifier. An avid motorcyclist for the past 47 years, I have summited Mt. Washington 8 times, the northeast’s highest mountain at 6,288 feet, and left tread marks in most of America’s states, Canada, and Key West. I live for the power of curiosity-one of the most powerful tools we own. It can help us grow, build relationships with others, adapt more effectively to change and create more innovative solutions. My friends and colleagues recognize me as a Leader, Consultant, Trusted Adviser, People-Person, Energetic, Passionate and Compassionate, Initiator, Kind, Humorous, and a Champion in accelerating Cultures of Excellence.
