| What is your “Speaker Superpower”? |

| How does your message empower others? |
| My message, “Your Habits Will Determine Your Level of Success,” empowers individuals to achieve their goals by building consistent, accountable habits.

| What inspired you to start speaking or coaching? |
| My journey began with my first business as a paperboy, where I was recognized by the Michigan Press Association as an Outstanding Newspaper Boy. I was fortunate to attend college, becoming the first of seven siblings to do so, and I discovered my passion for business and accounting. 35 years later as a successful Financial Auditor, and then being diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Through this challenge, I developed a habit-formation process I call the Habit Matrix, which helped me overcome obstacles, including depression. This experience inspired me to become a speaker to inform others about the power of habits to overcome challenges and realize the value of financial literacy. |

Sharing my real challenges and lessons learned not only makes my message resonate but also inspires others to turn their obstacles into opportunities. Authenticity builds trust and drives impactful change. |
| What are some of your most memorable moments or achievements in this field? |
| As my financial career grew, I became certified as a Financial Literacy Trainer, Fraud Examiner, and Authenticity Coach, driven by a passion for community outreach. I’ve volunteered with the YMCA’s Invest in Youth program, supporting young minds, and with the Accounting Aid Society, assisting with tax preparation and teaching financial literacy. My work has also included helping men develop leadership skills to manage stress and avoid depression. Through these efforts, I’ve been able to ease financial burdens and empower those in need to overcome obstacles. |
| How do you stay motivated and inspired to continually grow your influence? |
