It’s a bit weird writing about yourself, so the best way to get the scoop on me is to check out my facebook page or follow me on Instagram or Twitter. Here’s a link to my official bio but i’ll be a bit more conversational here.
In a nutshell, I’m an Oklahoma boy now residing in the South. I am a passionate follower of Christ, and had the privilege of leading and directing a movement of young leaders called Catalyst for over a decade. My purpose is to connect, gather and influence the influencers. I’ve been equipping, inspiring, and releasing the next generation of young leaders for over 25 years through a number of different seasons of assignment. I appreciate the chance to continually connect with and collaborate alongside leaders.
I currently play a strategic advisor role with a number of organizations.
I’ve authored 2 books- The Catalyst Leader: Eight Essentials for Becoming a Change Maker, as well as my most recent best-seller entitled H3 Leadership: Be Humble, Stay Hungry, Always Hustle, both from Harper Leadership. And working on a 3rd book!
I love Oklahoma Sooners football, and consider myself a strong candidate for the senior golf tour at some point. I would prefer to start most mornings in a duck blind if possible, and if not hunting, you’ll find me on the ski slopes or on a plane. If given the option, I would love to have my own hunting show.
Over the last 25 years, I’ve spent a significant amount of time convening leaders. Prior to running Catalyst, I spent 5 years involved in the growth of the nationally acclaimed Life@Work Magazine and did management consulting with Cornerstone Group. Before that, after graduating from the University of Oklahoma, I rode horses for a living on a ranch in the Colorado mountains for several years.
I write about leadership, the next generation, creativity, innovation, social media, teamwork, personal growth, generational issues, execution, and a few other topics. You can hear all kinds of conversations with great leaders I’ve had the pleasure of interviewing like Malcolm Gladwell, Seth Godin, Francis Chan, Tony Dungy, Andy Stanley, Rick Warren, Marcus Buckingham, Dave Ramsey, Bill Hybels and others through the H3 Leadership Podcast which is FREE and available on itunes or at the H3 Leadership website. .
I typically post 1-2 times a week. To stay connected, you can subscribe to receive blog updates via email or RSS Feed.
