"I believe that true success is found in finding and serving something bigger than ourselves.

"And that takes dedication and discipline. With a diverse background that includes winning the LA Sprint Triathlon, qualifying and competing in the Ironman World Championship-KONA, founding multiple successful businesses, and overcoming cancer twice, I am now laser-focused on helping others achieve their full potential by integrating faith, work... a connection to something meaningful that far outlives us.

"Throughout my career, I have developed several leaders dedicated to the service industry, employing hundreds of people, many of whom were out of work. I gave them the gift of opportunity and the confidence that comes with success, and now many own successful operations of their own.

"My commitment to helping people reaches beyond business; I have served as a lay leader in various charities, trained numerous athletes and teams, and opened my home to those in need. And I frequently travel to third-world countries to investigate, assist, and develop promising young entrepreneurs there, providing encouragement, guidance and first-hand counsel along the way.

"In my current position as chair of Convene, it's my joy and fervent desire to help successful business leaders to not only thrive in their niche, but keep their eye on what's truly important. I believe "iron sharpens iron," and as we ask the right questions and seek truthful and revealing answers, I know success will follow.

"In fact, why not take decisive action and join me, networking with other like-minded leaders committed to making a difference. We meet monthly in Pasadena and Thousand Oaks—bring a friend and we'll double the fun!

"If you're a business leader who would like to partner with successful peers who will expand your insights and become your trusted friends, I sincerely invite you to CONNECT and learn more. It might be the best decision you make today?"
