Summary

I am a highly motivated individual, passionate about human development and relentlessly seeking to optimize performance. I am deeply interested in creating and maintaining a culture and environment where people can be themselves, challenge self-imposed, and work to maximize their potential. More than the technical/tactical expertise, I base my coaching and leading on human connection. With time and experience, I have realized that working hard and giving your best are the purest forms of success and life mantras for me
