MY STORY
I GREW UP IN THE HUMAN EXPERIENCE
I’m the proud son of two value-driven parents, raised in the heart of New Orleans—a city that celebrates life. I love to laugh, dive into deep conversations, cook, and dance. But most of all, I value the people around me.
​
My career, however, was defined by a specific type of frustration. Like too many, I’ve been the employee who’s been kicked in the pants. I know the alienation of working under self-centered leaders and losing my zest for life as a result.
But that frustration didn't just make me tired. It made me curious. It drove me to grad school in my late 40s to research the dynamics of leadership.
​
I’m a simple dude with a clear mission to help people recognize leadership as people-centered and as a process. No, I’ve never been a corporate CEO or a college president. But you don’t have to be a master chef to know when the Gumbo is spoiled. My experiences as an employee and a citizen drove me to become the leader—and the strategist—I always wanted.
​
This is my North Star—my raison d'être.
It's the Creole Trinity in my cooking.
It's what keeps me up at night and gets me out of bed in the morning.
​
Today, I help leaders find their voice. Coaching, workshops, and keynote speaking are my tools to provide the accountability architecture to help build high-performance teams with the foundations of self-awareness, followership, and trust.
I don't just talk about leadership.
I help build it with the human experience in mind.​
