My Why is to help you help those whom you serve – and to encourage where I have influence.
I help people work together to solve problems and reach shared goals. My approach centers on servant leadership, clear direction tied to mission, and practical systems that support strong teams. I coach leaders and organizations in Servant Leadership. I’ve found that the approach strengthens sustainable growth and healthy teams over time. I believe the value of a leader is measured by Robert Greenleaf’s quote:
“Do those served grow as persons? Do they, while being served, become healthier, wiser, freer, more autonomous, more likely themselves to become servants?”
I rely on straightforward systems that keep teams aligned. This includes clear priorities, consistent check-ins, shared planning, simple workflows, open communication, and coaching. These practices help people stay focused and supported.
I serve as the Chief of Strategic Operations at Southern Oregon Goodwill and am honored to support the outreach and mission of Hearts With A Mission as a Board Director. With more than 25 years of leadership experience, my background spans strategic operations, team development, and leadership in nonprofit and mission-driven environments. I focus on strengthening leadership at all levels, improving organizational clarity, and turning ideas into action.
If these ideas connect with how you want to lead, I share a new reflection each week through Be Encouraged, with practical thoughts on Servant Leadership, communication, accountability, leadership growth, and developing people.
If you see something we might work on together, let me know.
