He regularly gives back to his local community through volunteering his time helping non-profits with change programs. A key component of writing this book is to expand his reach to people that normally do not have access to executive coaching or cutting edge learning and development in their organizations.

His own learning and development began in the military and continued developing during his undergraduate degree and at Armstrong World Industries and Saint Gobain in Europe . From there, he realized his passion for setting people up for success and, after a masters in the UK, established his company, Watermarq Consulting in 2001.

His passion for improving by “10%” is deeply routed in his life, his family and his activities outside of work. You may not see him on an Olympic roster but you will see him improving in everything he does, whether rock climbing, mountain biking, inspiring his children, or finding new ways to enhance his marriage. He believes improving by 10% is an amazingly simple concept that has transformed his life. His inspirational talks, like his book, “Keep Your P.I.E. Fresh”, outlines a simple approach to help find and achieve 10% greater success.
