Two decades as an Army brat, followed by two decades of service in the US Air Force, infused his life with discipline, leadership, and significant insights into human dynamics. In his own words, he learned how to read and understand people, discerning their needs and intentions, and those global experiences underscored the universal importance of adaptable skills.

Then came the shift out of military service. He describes it plainly as shocking and difficult, understanding what it takes to succeed in the private sector, business development, human behavior, and how different it all is. So he set out on a long and hard journey to understand it, and to merge his global experience with what he had learned advising senior commanders and executives on military human and organizational dynamics.

Under the guidance of Dr. Marshall Goldsmith, he went deeper into coaching, facilitation, and human dynamics. That mentorship shaped his capacity to guide individuals and organizations toward communicating, collaborating, leading, and flourishing.

The pinnacle of that evolution took shape in The Gap Between Two Worlds, his book on the intricacies of change and transition, with a foreword by Dr. Nido Qubein and endorsements from Marshall Goldsmith and Brian Tracy. Today he founds and leads Humadyn, Life Skills Institute, with one purpose: to help people and organizations thrive by understanding and mastering the art of human dynamics.
