In 1994 I left a small town in northeastern North Carolina to see the world as an Officer in the United States Navy. Over 25-years I sailed in and commanded our nation’s amazing warships and the Sailors who served beside me. Along the way I started a family with my amazing wife, learned about small business from her and from an amazing business school, met and learned from the world’s best leaders, led our nations next generation of warfighters, and retired happily here in San Diego. I love my neighbors, my church, and my community. Since leaving the military, my goal has been to give back to my fellow citizens in this wonderful community.

What does Austin for Business do for your small business?  I bring decades of experience in conflict resolution, complex planning strategies, communication tools, and managing/coaching leaders. Sound durable, repeatable, and simple process and efficiency are my mission.

My goal is to help your teams identify challenges, develop solutions, implement those solutions, and leverage the product of that success to increase revenue and decrease team turnover.  In short, to build resilient and enduring teams.  I enjoy watching individuals and teams achieve success and I thrive on the challenge of building a better process.

I am a veteran owned small business.
