Studying and learning about how leaders think, how they act, and how they find solutions that impact lives has been an interest of his for years. 

He enjoys studying the leadership philosophies and actions of leaders like Presidents Lincoln, Washington, Jefferson, Dr. Martin Luther King, Presidents Madison and Reagan, Prime Minister Churchill, Mother Teresa, Gandhi, Dr. John Maxwell, Tony Robbins, General Colin Powell, Coach John Wooden, General Eisenhower, Dr. Ben Carson, and others. The how and the why matter and understanding their leadership ways and decision-making leads to understanding why they achieved results.

There is little doubt we live in turbulent and times. Many of the ideals most of us learned in our youth are being challenged. Add to the mix the real-world problems that deserve a clear vision for a path to move forward. Unlike the past, today’s leaders must understand the chaotic lightning speed changes brought on by technology. To compete and win in this world I believe we must challenge and unlock the leader within all of us. Based on the core principles of vales-based servant leadership we can unleash our inner “Power of One” to provide contemporary solutions to nagging problems. It is imperative leaders react and lead in response to these changes that will direct the successes of tomorrow.
