Respect and trust are both earned, but we all need a place to start from. I constantly tell people that we have to earn the right and privilege from a person to invest and build into their lives. I’m hoping that with this website you will permit me to invest in your life.

We are not in the same boat, but rather in the same storm; some have life jackets, some have sailboats, others have large yachts, and occasionally we find ourselves on an inflated tube. Nobody has all the answers, and no one has arrived yet.

I am fifty-three years old, and I have the scars and the T-shirt to prove that I have gone around, through, and even over the mountain. I have sobbed myself to sleep, struggled with God, wished to die, had nothing at times, and experienced moments of contentment. However, I’ve accomplished a few things in my life thanks to these mountain excursions.

It provided me with wisdom, courage, and resilience, all of which I use to positively touch the lives of countless people. For me, success is finding my life’s purpose, which I discovered by assisting others with the abilities and gifts that God bestowed upon me. If I can make even one person’s life better, I’ll consider myself to be successful. To challenge others in a nonjudgmental way to become the best versions of themselves is priceless. Success is never about money or status; it’s about using your talents, abilities, and gifts to improve the lives of others, as every leader worth his weight in gold would attest.
