This role has reinforced a truth that has become a cornerstone of my life and leadership: the absolute, non-negotiable importance of “abiding in Christ.” Through the wisdom imparted by mentors like Rich Case, Dave Dunkel, and Richard Blackaby, I’ve come to understand that “Unhurried time with Him produces the greatest fruit in our lives.” This lesson has become my guiding principle: “less talking, less thinking – more listening and abiding in Christ”.

My mission is to equip Christian leaders to integrate faith with business, creating a Greater Purpose that advances the Gospel in the marketplace. This journey goes beyond business success, fostering eternal impact through humility, high performance, and unwavering faith.

With over 30 years of entrepreneurial and business development experience in building materials and technology (Salesforce.com), I’ve navigated the complexities of start-ups to $160 million enterprises. Yet, my most profound growth came from personal trials that taught me the value of integrating faith and leadership, demonstrating that true success stems from Christ-centered principles. In my early 30s, I experienced the loss of my company, a divorce, and a season of moral, spiritual, and financial bankruptcy. It was in this brokenness that I learned the necessity of committing my life and business to Christ.

A significant turning point in my journey was meeting my son for the first time when he was 15. This experience reminded me it’s never too late to build meaningful relationships and taught me that true leadership starts with investing in those closest to us.

As a C12 Chair, I now guide others in this journey of integrating faith and business. The C12 framework, with its principles like “Business as a Ministry” (BaaM) and pursuing “A Greater Purpose,” provides a structured path for CEOs and executives to experience transformation, camaraderie, and a Bema mindset—viewing every action with eternal accountability.

I am committed to helping leaders abide in Christ, build businesses with Kingdom impact, and lead with excellence, gratitude, and a relentless passion for God’s best. Together, as we advance the Gospel in the marketplace, we are transforming the world—one business and one relationship at a time.
