Leadership is service, stewardship, and the art of empowering others.
My leadership approach was shaped early in life through the Boy Scouts, where leadership is taught through responsibility, influence rather than authority, and a culture of shared purpose. That experience ingrained in me a tendency to delegate, develop people, and build environments where teams solve problems collaboratively.
I see myself as an integrator—of people, systems, and ideas. I work to create institutional vision through broad engagement rather than top-down direction, and I rely on data, transparency, and honest conversation to guide decisions. I believe that strong leaders cultivate confidence, clarity, and a culture where intelligent people are trusted to contribute their expertise.

Cultural Resistance To Change
A change imposed is a change opposed; culture makes transformation possible.
