“I help people find and live their uncommon and extraordinary lives, through speaking and writing.”
I am an author and sought-after speaker who passionately believes in the transformative power of a good story to motivate, inspire, encourage, and bring value to others. My purpose is to help people find and lead their uncommon and extraordinary lives.
I am the Founder of Motivational Check LLC. I have a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from The Citadel and a Master's degree from Boston University.
Combining my thirteen-year cancer journey with my diverse business, athletic coaching, and law enforcement expertise, I deliver actionable, compelling, and relatable ideas and stories to help a podcast audience learn and grow. My unique background and experiences allow me to offer a fresh perspective on mindset, motivation, leadership, health, coaching, business, and parenting.
My journey has been a combination of distinct practices. I have been an NCAA Division I college basketball player, a marketing executive, a hospital administrator, a customer service manager, a SWAT Hostage Negotiator, a business owner, a high school basketball coach, and a cancer warrior.
I am the author of Sustainable Excellence, Ten Principles To Leading Your Uncommon and Extraordinary Life, and a featured author in Perspectives on Cancer, Stories of Healing, Hope, & Resilience. I have been published in Authority, Thrive Global, and Human Capital Leadership magazines, along with being quoted and highlighted in the books Your Blueprint for Purpose by John Creekmur and Audaciousness, Your Journey To Living A Bold And Authentic Life by Maribel Ortega and Helen Strong.
I have also developed the following 4 Truths to assist, guide, and support audiences by bringing knowledge and meaning to the almost 700 podcasts where I have been fortunate to guest:
1. Control your mind, or it will control you.
2. Embrace the pain and discomfort we all experience in life and use it to make you a stronger and more resilient individual.
3. You leave behind what you weave in other people's hearts.
4. As long as you don't quit, you can never be defeated.
