Ever notice how the best companies are built on great teams? That's what drives me at KMP Consultants. We're all about putting people first to fuel sustainable growth and create workplaces where top talent thrives. 

My journey? It's been quite the ride! I've spent years in aerospace and defense, leading global teams with some pretty hefty budgets. I've had the chance to shake things up with innovative products and weather storms like economic downturns and natural disasters. Trust me, nothing teaches you about leadership quite like those experiences! 

But wait, there's more! I also helped kick off Excelation, where we're all about boosting company performance through smart benefits, savvy financial moves, and some cool automation tricks. Our goal? Save companies millions while making work better for everyone involved. 

Oh, and did I mention I lived in Asia for 16 years? Talk about an eye-opener! It really shaped my global perspective. When I'm not working, you might find me in the cockpit – I'm a commercial pilot and flight instructor. I also love participating in international missions, which keeps me on my toes and constantly learning. 

So that's me in a nutshell – always looking for new ways to lead, innovate, and make work life awesome for everyone involved. Let's connect and chat about how we can make great things happen!
