BIOGRAPHY
A Professional Motivational, Business and Leadership Speaker since 1992 The release of The On-Purpose Person, an international best-seller placed me on the speaker circuit in convention, arena and conference center platforms from Hungary to Hawaii.

Workshops and seminars on personal leadership, sales, and business development are offered online as well as in person.
As American's Chief Leadership Officer I'm about developing leaders - clients and client companies. This essential quality of maturity can be ignited, flamed, and spread. My messages are all heart-felt, authentic, original, wise and rich with practical takeaways. The On-Purpose® Approach is the foundation.
You'll find me easy to work with, low maintenance, and ready to serve. I do my research and homework for each and every client engagement. If you have a theme, I will fit into it. I'll work to understand and use the language of your industry and company. I'll read what you send me. My goal is for your audience to walk out of your event as better people... on-purpose persons in creation.
Through the decades of my professional speaking career, clients have booked me in diverse venues including Arenas, Convention Centers, Theaters, Auditoriums, Churches and as small a Boardrooms.
