Bio
As the author of The Courage to Take Command: Leadership Lessons from a Military Trailblazer, I use my unique experiences (meeting Saddam Hussein, saving an American engineer from being kidnapped), storytelling, and humor to share the wonderful leadership lessons learned in the US Army (and from my dad The Marine). Now, I travel nationally speaking to organizations on leadership.
Military Experiences
Jan 2003 - May 2006
Brigade Commander
Sixth Brigade turned Soldiers into Leaders. I worked with great instructors from the NCO Academy, Drill Sergeant School, SGM Academy, CAS3, and Command and General Staff College. I commanded over 400 Soldiers across six states and loved the professionalism and leadership shown in every classroom. It was a wonderful assignment to close up my thirty years of serving. Hooah!

I oversaw all public affair for Commanding General Ricardo Sanchez. I worked with the spokespersons, the media, supervised the newspaper, radio and television programs.
