Leaderologist & Cognitive Behavior Scientist
Overview
Underrated by design. Outcomes first. Recognition when it is earned.
I work with individuals and organizations that value accuracy, discipline, and results. My background spans leadership science, cognitive behavior, strategic planning, organizational development, health science, education, entrepreneurship, and applied research. That range is not accidental. It reflects a career spent studying how people actually think, decide, and perform under real conditions, not ideal ones.
I hold undergraduate, master’s, and doctoral degrees in leadership, along with advanced education in health science and adult education. My work integrates research, behavioral mechanisms, and strategic reasoning into practical systems that produce measurable outcomes. I serve as a Cognitive Behavior Scientist and Leadership Strategist, and I am the creator of Reasoned Leadership, a scientifically structured framework designed to replace style based leadership thinking with precision and accountability.
Beyond direct client work, I teach, publish, serve on committees and small business boards, and host the Leaders Last podcast, where I examine leadership through a critical, evidence driven lens. I am committed to contributing to my community and to advancing leadership as a discipline grounded in reality rather than rhetoric.
Outside of work, I value time outdoors, music, motorcycles, history, and health. Those interests keep me grounded and remind me that leadership is not an abstraction, it is lived.
If you or your organization are serious about progress and willing to engage in work that prioritizes outcomes over optics, we will likely work well together.
I look forward to meeting you!
Leaderology speaks to me because of its complexity and the opportunities it presents for personal and professional growth. Leadership is a multifaceted discipline that encompasses a wide range of subjects, including leadership theories, practical applications, strategic forecasting and decision-making, organizational theory and development, performance improvement, team development, motivation and influence techniques, change models, negotiating, facilitation, bias evaluation and control, mindfulness, emotional intelligence, human mind heuristics, organizational structure, psychology, business, international business, global trends, and so much more. It is a discipline that requires continuous learning and growth, and it is much more than just memorizing a few famous quotes. I am passionate about delving into the various aspects of leadership and helping others do the same.
I chose to study health science because I recognize its critical role in effective leadership. Optimal cognitive function, decision-making, and resilience are all deeply influenced by physical and mental well-being. Yet, many individuals struggle with chronic health challenges that limit their capacity to lead, adapt, and perform at their best. My goal is to bridge this gap by equipping my students and clients with the knowledge and resources necessary to take control of their health and, in turn, enhance their leadership potential.
With specialized knowledge in physical activity epidemiology, exercise prescription, health and fitness psychology, alternative health solutions, applied nutrition, supplementation, and general sports medicine, I offer a comprehensive, science-driven approach to health optimization. So, whether your goal is to enhance cognitive performance, prevent disease, or maximize physical fitness, I provide the tools and strategies to help you achieve lasting results.
I was drawn to the field of education because of my belief in the importance of sharing knowledge. I wanted to gain the necessary skills and expertise to effectively impart knowledge to others, which is why I focused my studies on education strategy, hands-on teaching and decision making, research methods, curriculum design, program planning and evaluation, education approaches and evaluations, and education procedures. I am convinced that education is a powerful tool for creating positive change, and I am dedicated to utilizing my knowledge and skills to assist others in their learning and growth journey.
