West Point taught me leadership and accountability under pressure — not as abstractions, but as daily discipline.
My service as a U.S. Army officer, including military intelligence work, taught me how to create clarity out of ambiguity, organize information that matters, and execute when the plan meets reality.
My private equity operating experience and time as a COO taught me how companies actually create value: where growth breaks down, what leadership teams need to be able to do, and the gap between a good strategy and a business that can consistently deliver on it — including what it takes to integrate an acquisition without losing execution along the way.
EOS, Working Genius, and Lean Six Sigma are practical tools I apply based on what a business actually needs — not a single methodology applied regardless of fit.
I started Copper Spur Group to bring those experiences together and help growing companies build stronger businesses: businesses with the vision, strategy, leadership, execution, and improvement discipline to scale.
