Make your move
Your options after graduation: a gap year, the military, getting a job or going to college, and how to choose. Plus the money basics nobody teaches. I gave this talk at many high schools in Indiana.
Public speaking
Talks that move people
From high school assemblies to conference stages: real stories, plain talk, and steps people can use the next day.

Building wealth from nothing
From detailing cars at 16 to starting a company with no loans and buying rental homes. The habits and decisions that build wealth, told through real stories.
Cybersecurity that works
For school administrators and business leaders: how attacks really happen, and the practical steps that protect people and data. Built on 33+ years in IT and security.
Service, discipline and leadership
What six years in the U.S. Air Force, including UN peacekeeping in Haiti, taught me about leading people and building something that lasts.

Past talks
Where I’ve spoken
Before COVID, I spoke to seniors at many high schools across Indiana about their options after school: taking a gap year, joining the military, getting a job or going to college.
I’ve also spoken to school administrators about cybersecurity.
