Helping Teams Break Free From Struggle & Start Winning Again
Equip yourself and your team with the strategies and tools you need to flourish!
I Don’t Just Talk About Mindset—I've Lived It.
As a speaker, my goal is simple: to move people.
To shift perspectives. To spark action. To awaken something deep within.
From earning success as an All-American athlete to sitting across from FBI agents in a windowless interrogation room, I’ve lived the extremes. I’ve lost businesses, battled betrayal, and rebuilt my life from rock bottom.
That pain shaped my purpose.
And now, I use my story—not to entertain, but to empower.
My talks blend raw honesty with real tools for growth, helping audiences rewrite their story, reframe their mindset, and rise stronger than ever.
What Audiences Will Experience
Whether I’m speaking to entrepreneurs, executives, students, or athletes, my message is clear:
“Your past doesn’t define your potential. Your pain can become your power. Your mindset is everything.”
I translate high-level performance psychology into simple, actionable steps. This isn’t fluff. It’s lived experience and proven strategies for real transformation.
Audiences walk away with:
A renewed sense of clarity and belief
Tools to perform, lead, and live with purpose
A mindset for overcoming adversity and taking action
A story that stays with them long after the applause fades
For Business & Entrepreneurial Audiences
I speak to founders, executives, and leadership teams navigating pressure, growth, and big expectations. Using the tools of sports psychology, I help business professionals shift from reactive to resilient.
