About me
I grew up in Michigan, graduated from Grand Ledge High School and later received my Ph.D. from Michigan State University. For 22 years, I have served as the CEO of a Michigan-based company, Character Development & Leadership. I developed two national programs that improve the character and leadership of secondary students, used in 3,500+ schools nationwide. I have authored four books that profile positive role models to inspire readers to become the best versions of themselves.
