Building ideas, institutions and people across borders.
I build where technology, people and opportunity meet—across public institutions, African learning, cross-border trade and the private turning points that reshape a life.
01 / Perspective
My work began with a question: what does useful change actually look like?
Not change that only sounds good in a meeting. Change people can feel, use and sustain. That question has taken me from government consulting and workforce strategy into digital learning, artificial intelligence, writing and entrepreneurship.
02 / Companies
Three platforms. One commitment to useful work.
Ignite Consults
Workforce strategy, technology modernization, staffing, organizational change and public-sector delivery.

“I’m interested in the moment when experience becomes direction—and direction becomes something other people can use.”
My path has crossed government systems, private companies, classrooms, auction lanes and more than forty countries. The settings change. The work remains the same: understand the real problem, tell the truth about it and build a practical way forward.

Coaching & faith
The work is also deeply personal.
As a life coach, I work with people at turning points—when success no longer feels settled, when life has changed without permission, or when the next decision carries more weight than usual.
My faith shapes another part of that calling: teaching Scripture, praying with people, walking with them through difficult seasons and building a Christ-centered community grounded in grace, truth and care.
“People rarely need another performance. They need truth, care and a way forward.”
04 / Books
Books for the questions people carry quietly.
Work, identity, power, age, faith and the courage to begin again—written with honesty and without making difficult subjects shallow.
