About me

After a success 20+ year sales and business development career, I took my experiences and launched a coaching practice in early 2006. I am now an internationally recognized business and leadership development coach, author, speaker, and workshop facilitator. As a certified, professional coach and president of Seize This Day Coaching, I help businesses and organizations operate more constructively and profitably. I evaluate, encourage, and guide my clients.

As a speaker and workshop facilitator I merge energy and enthusiasm with rich content. My goal is to leave my audience with actionable steps as well as the excitement to implement those steps.

I wrap my presentations around the concept of Clarity of Course™, believing that having clarity in business and sales is one of the key to having a successful, thriving business.

I have presented to many organizations throughout the United States including Cox Communications, United Franchise Group, Lake Health Foundation, and the COSE Small Business Conference.
