I have essentially lived two lives. Ever since I was 7 all the way through high school and college I
was involved in the
theater. I went to NY to pursue acting and a funny thing happened; I ended up
going up on stage at the Improv on a dare and did 5 minutes of stand up. That night I began my 7 yr
journey as a
comedian on the national comedy club circuit. I was making a living and had some
success but as I approached 30, I realized a few things:

There is no 401k in comedy.
Something was missing.
I was getting bored.


    In 1997 I was performing at the Comedy Connection in Boston and a consultant from Executive
Perspectives
saw me and asked if I would perform at their company holiday party. I accepted and
after the performance I was asked had I ever considered a career in corporate education? That night
was the beginning of my second life; facilitating leadership classes for
managers & executives of
Fortune 200 companies
.

    I have been fortunate enough to spend the last 15 years as a facilitator, coach, speaker and
consultant. I take
tremendous pride in the fact that I have built long-term relationships with some of
the companies I've had an opportunity to work for:

Union Pacific - 13 years 3 Leadership courses
Boeing - 7 years 7 leadership courses/coaching
Dell - 6 years 2 leadership courses/coaching

   I've been told that what distinguishes me from other corporate trainers/facilitators/counsultants
(and there are plenty of good ones out there) is my ability to set a specific tone in the room which is
relaxed, personal, insightful and all about members of the group learning from one another.

    If I would be a good fit for your company's leadership development needs, please contact me. I
would love t
he opportunity to assist in the development of your people and the growth of your
business.
