People. Process. Execution.
I've spent my career finding opportunities, developing people, building relationships, solving operational problems, and bringing different stakeholders together around a common objective.
My career has crossed sales, business development, training, operations, real estate, entrepreneurship, and organizational development. The industries changed. The work underneath them was remarkably consistent.
The Connecting Thread
My career doesn't follow a conventional ladder. What connects those experiences is responsibility for outcomes that depended on other people.
Learn the system. Understand the people. Create alignment. Move the objective forward.
How I Work
- People and development: hiring, training, coaching, leadership, communication, and knowledge transfer.
- Implementation and operations: turning objectives into workable processes that function in the real world.
- Stakeholder alignment: bringing people with different responsibilities and incentives around a shared objective.
- Growth and opportunity: finding opportunities, opening relationships, understanding needs, and helping business move forward.
Selected Evidence
Enterprise Standardization & Vendor Coordination
At Concentra Health Centers, helped develop a national capital-equipment solution, built current-state and financial comparison models, and coordinated vendors across multiple markets.
Corporate Training & Onboarding
At Tom Thumb / Randalls, supported Austin-region hiring and new-hire orientation, led group and auditorium-format training, communicated company policies, procedures, expectations, and standards, and connected employees with appropriate training and resources.
Multi-Site Operations & Organizational Improvement
Supported operations across Pacific Table Southlake and Las Colinas/Irving, managed two locations, and designed and proposed Far Out Training alongside the Operational Health Index concept.
From Agreement to Outcome
Sales can create agreement. A contract can formalize it. Management can assign responsibility. None of those things guarantees the intended outcome. Much of my career has happened in the space between agreement and outcome.

Current Focus
After a broad career across business development, entrepreneurship, operations, training, management, and creative work, I am concentrating the next chapter of my career in people development, implementation and adoption, stakeholder alignment, organizational development, training, people operations, program management, and operational leadership.
