Deb received her B.S. in Aerospace and Ocean Engineering from Virginia Tech, where she was a highly decorated member of the Virginia Tech Corps of Cadets and Air Force ROTC. After college, Deb was commissioned into the United States Air Force as a 2nd Lieutenant, entered Pilot Training and became an Instructor Pilot at Reese AFB. Later, she was recruited as Deputy Commander at the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, CO. Deb separated from the Air Force as a Captain in 1996 and entered the private sector in the construction industry. In 2008, she formed her own company in the “green” building sector, where she managed Virginia’s premier green building program. In 2010, Deb redirected her focus to working with businesses, groups, and individuals to optimize their operations and achieve their desired results.

Famous for her results-oriented style, Deb is known for asking the question, “Where would you be if every time you said ‘I Should…,’ you actually DID?” She shares a systemized strategy for achieving success beyond your wildest dreams that is based upon four foundational pillars – standards, discipline, accountability, and systems. Deb teaches a process for looking fear in the face and then acting in spite of that fear. It is a system she learned as an Instructor Pilot in the United States Air Force teaching airmen to fly advanced supersonic jets – a system that is easily duplicated by individuals, teams, organizations and companies to create phenomenal results.
