My Story
I'm just a guy. In fact, I'm pretty much just an average guy. The only thing different about me is I ALWAYS ASK WHY. I was born with an intense curiosity, natural insecurity, ego the size of ________ (fill in your favorite large land mass) and an awareness that I can only describe as a gift and a curse. I am an intense observer of people and their behaviors and this book represents my observations in an actionable format. The stories, messaging and tools inside this book are life changing. I hope they change yours!
Remember, The Greatest Gift you can give another person is Being Present.
I have a beautiful wife (Grady), four awesome kids (Logan, Jessica, Mackenzie, Austin) and four cool grandkids (Paisley, Finley, Brody and Baker). Life is good!
