What we do matters.

Unquestionably, what we say counts, but what we do matters.

But, it ain’t just ‘what you do’, it’s the ‘way’ that you do it.

I’ve spent over three decades leading organizations in the UK, Europe, Asia, and the USA.

I’ve worked with individuals, specialist teams, start-ups, high-growth ventures, and large corporations.

I have the ‘battle scars’ from my journey. Unquestionably, what I have done has shaped how I think and go about my life.

Every day, I seek to remain humble and open. About 20 years ago, I established a mindset – a way of doing things.

Today, I seem happiest when working ‘elbows deep’ alongside and inside talented teams, collaborating on complex challenges and helping each embrace opportunities.

To some, it may seem strange, but the gnarlier and uglier the problem, the more excited and focused I get.

Those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.

Who am I?

Entrepreneur

Unquestionably, I am a serial entrepreneur. Entrepreneurial thinking was baked into me at an early age. I can’t help myself. There is a sweet taste in taking the thread of an idea and turning it into something tangible. Of course, I have had my share of failures.

Investor

I have worked incredibly hard and been fortunate. Today, I am able to make discrete investments of time and money in great people and companies that surprise and inspire me.

Coach

I have been a Coach, Instructor, Trainer, and Mentor for as long as I can remember. It seems a natural disposition that brings me a particular type of joy.

Today, I am a Certified Business Coach focusing on Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) and a Certified Tennis Coach helping adult athletes.

Veteran

I began my career pursuing a childhood dream to serve as a Royal Air Force helicopter pilot, flying in operations in the UK and Northern Ireland, Falklands, Hong Kong, and 24/7 Search and Rescue.

I think differently.

“My intense flying experiences have honed my clarity of thought, acute problem-solving, and focus on results. In the heat of operations, mistakes are a constant. It’s how you adapt that matters. And sure, I got lucky…”

Who can I help?

Individuals

I’ve spent a lifetime ‘weathering the storms’ of life and business. I believe grit, determination, and courage are at the epicenter of success. I seek to use my experience and mindset to help people who deserve it.

Organizations

I help organizations large and small, commercial and not-for-profit. There is a myriad of complexities around each organization’s needs. Rather than use a rigid framework or re-hash a playbook, we design a new path to work together.
