Helping founders move from uncertainty to clarity, from vision to execution, and from calling to Kingdom impact.

I’m an entrepreneur, executive leader, doctoral candidate, Certified Biblical Life Coach, and the founder of Faith-Led Founder and The Global Training Association.

My passion is helping people discover their God-given calling and equipping them with the faith, strategy, and confidence to build businesses that create lasting impact.

For years, I’ve worked at the intersection of leadership, instructional design, workforce development, and entrepreneurship, helping organizations and individuals turn vision into reality. Along the way, I realized that many Christian entrepreneurs were searching for more than business advice. They were looking for biblical wisdom, practical coaching, and the confidence to build what God had placed on their hearts.

That’s why I created Faith-Led Founder.

I believe entrepreneurship is more than a career path. It is an opportunity to steward God’s gifts, serve others with excellence, and glorify Him through business. My mission is to equip founders with practical business strategy, Christ-centered leadership, and biblical principles that empower them to launch, grow, and lead businesses that honor God.

Whether you’re beginning with an idea or leading an established company, my goal is to help you move from uncertainty to clarity, from vision to execution, and from calling to Kingdom impact.
