Retired Navy Special Operations (EOD)

When people hear “military,” they think discipline, grit, maybe a few stories.

None of that matters to your business.

What matters is this:

The ability to think clearly when consequences are real.
To identify the single point of failure.
And to act without margin for error.

Out of roughly 1,500 Navy EOD operators, I was ranked #1  a selection rate rarer than becoming an astronaut, a Fortune 500 CEO, or an Olympic gold medalist.

In a community where mistakes don’t mean embarrassment -> they mean death.

Trust was earned there, not assumed.

Trusted by peers, juniors, and superiors when truth mattered more than comfort.
Trusted by Secretaries of State where blunt clarity was the only acceptable currency.
Trusted to clear spaces for Presidents alongside the U.S. Secret Service where one word meant go or no-go.
Trusted to train the man who now writes NASA’s astronaut survival doctrine and personally prepares astronauts for when things go wrong.
Trusted to mentor Ivy League graduates, teaching lessons that only scars can teach... not classrooms.

That trust wasn’t given.
It was earned failure by failure, scar by scar, decision by decision.

In that world, success is simple:

Identify the constraint, the single weak point where failure would cascade, and solve it completely.

When every person around you is relying on your judgment, clarity isn’t optional.

Problem by problem.
Constraint by constraint.
Solved.

That skill is rare.

Clarity under pressure is not learned from books.
Not taught in classrooms.
It’s earned only through responsibility, failure, and carrying consequences when seconds matter.

That mindset transfers.

Because businesses don’t fail randomly... they fail at constraints.

Cash flow bottlenecks.
Founder dependency.
Broken funnels.
Fragile systems.

They are the same problem in different disguises.

I’ve solved over 1,000 of these constraints live, inside real businesses.

Not by chasing tactics.
Not by copying what’s trendy.

But by isolating the weak point, removing everything that doesn’t matter, and unlocking growth while doing less work after... not more.

I’ve coached more than 600 businesses, removed thousands of bottlenecks, and unlocked millions in new revenue.

The outcome isn’t just growth.

It’s optionality.

The ability to run the business, scale it, or sell it ... without being trapped inside it.

The freedom to do what you want, when you want, with who you want.

That’s the real goal.

Your choice.
