Uncorking Courage: Speaking for Change

I’m not your typical leadership speaker—I’m a Navy veteran, sommelier, and survivor who knows what it takes to stand tall when life tries to break you. I blend powerful storytelling with practical strategies that help audiences slow down, connect deeply, and lead with clarity and courage. From serving four-star admirals to directing multi-million-dollar wine programs, I’ve thrived in high-stakes environments where resilience mattered most. Clients book me because I don’t just talk about leadership—I embody it. Your audience will leave inspired, equipped, and empowered to rise, speak, and lead with strength.
