President/CEO at Atlantica Group Inc. – Entrepreneur, Navy SEAL, Investor, Writer, Technical Advisor, Actor, Ambassador

Success is about effort and consistency…and often enough, luck. For over twenty years the challenges of becoming successful in business and self-awareness were always achievable. As a Navy SEAL, the character and business principles taught to me by my father and grandfather, were honed by years of military rigor, and whether in battle or the boardroom, it is most important to remain determined, disciplined, and vigilant. I was taught to be a strong leader, and was educated in the foundations of motivating people and managing relationships with honesty and integrity, accountability, open communication, teamwork, and the achievement of a common goal.

I found that after multiple combat tours, my emergence into the professional business environment required the same kind of resolve, but I had acquired a unique and valuable skill, a deep understanding of people. This enabled me to blend my tactical acumen with a natural talent for business management and through the years have steadily climbed the ladder through various government and corporate organizations, ending up owning and selling my first company. I now pursue and invest in interesting and enlightening projects, in both the government and private sector, having built two companies to focus on these interests. My immediate focus within the government sector lies in strategy, business development, training, niche technology, and program management. And most recently, I have been thoroughly engaged with both the health and fitness and entertainment industries, providing writing, producing, technical advising, promotions and acting.
