It's what I am passionate about and what I have been doing for the past 21 years of my professional career in the Military and Corporate worlds. I've been blessed to have some of the most spectacular examples of leadership anyone could ask for, and now it is my passion to share everything I have learned d with others as a Leadership Development and Career Coach. As a United States Army veteran, I have spent much of my adult life serving my country and leading combat and non-combat deployments worldwide. After leaving the Army, I joined the civilian workforce with leadership roles for several divisions of one organization. Inspired by the great leaders I have known and how they molded me into the celebrated leader I had become, I started Renowned Leadership. My purpose is to help people become authentic leaders with character and integrity. Leaders whom everyone wants to follow.
