I am:
- A son whose parents who modeled kindness and devotion.
- Married to a beautiful and endlessly supportive wife and mother.
- Father to grown twins – a compassionate, brilliant, and beautiful daughter, and a quiet, sweet and special son.
- Co-founder of a nationally acclaimed school for autistic children and young adults.
- A curious connector who’s at my best helping others become their best.
- An encourager who challenges out of belief.
- A Builder, inspired to help leaders and their teams build the clarity, belief, and courage to dream big and do what they can.
I spent five years amid the controlled chaos of the Chicago Board of Trade, where I learned as much about people as I did about the markets – particularly how different personalities respond to stress and uncertainty.
I later joined our family business as the third generation and learned from my father a simple, yet profound lesson that continues to guide my work with BUILT TO LEAD — great leaders inspire others by being inspired themselves. After more than 30 years, I have a deep understanding of the unique challenges of multi-generation family businesses.
