My story of Finding my Calling helping Adults Discover and Pursue Purpose.
Thank you for being here.
I wanted to share my story.
I am an overcomer - I love challenges, reaching the top and then showing others the way. Maybe that is why I love Mountains so much - maybe the majestic symbolism, the sheer challenge to climb mountains and get to the top. It is so exhilarating.
My story is about my pursuit to discover and pursue my life purpose. It includes peaks and valleys, detours and disappointments, all the while pursuing the elusive "American Dream"; the belief that everyone has the chance to be successful if they only worked hard enough.
Born in Texas and growing up in Florida, I received a scholarship to attend and play football as a cadet at the United States Military Academy at West Point, NY. This was a great honor that I cherish even today.
Upon graduating, I entered the US Army as an Officer and eventually served in the 10th Special Forces Group (Green Beret). It provided the opportunity to learn about myself and how to overcome the most pressing, intense challenges. What I really learned, the most important experiences are learning about ourselves, our strengths and our weaknesses. Life has a way, with our successes and failures, to help us focus on what truly is important. In my case, obtaining Life Purpose clarity.
’Follow me’ leadership was instilled in me at West Point and my US Army Special Operations training. I discovered my love for encouraging others, to press to the top, guiding teams to achieve greater things than they could imagine and living the life of an overcomer.
