I am a clinical and performance psychologist with over 20 years of experience optimizing resilience and human potential in high-stakes environments. I founded the Valor Institute for Leadership and Legacy to serve those who have carried the heaviest loads: Special Operations Forces, special mission unit operators, senior national security leaders, intelligence professionals, and their spouses/home-front partners.
What Truly Drives Me The mindset, tools, and teamwork that kept operators and their marriages strong downrange can—and must—be deliberately redirected to forge an even stronger life after the uniform. I have seen too many exceptional Tier-1 performers, senior leaders, and their home-front partners quietly fracture during transition.
That’s why I created Valor Institute: to guide Special Operations Forces, special mission unit operators, senior national security leaders, intelligence professionals, and their home-front partners into a post-uniform life of clarity, renewed purpose, and unbreakable alignment.
Key Background
If you are navigating a pivotal shift and value depth, rigor, and discretion, reach out. Let’s begin the conversation.
