Turning Vision into Action
I recently had the opportunity to meet with author, speaker and leader Matt Keller about how to translate vision into action. According to Keller, one of the most important things that a leader must do to move their organization forward is to clearly articulate the...
It’s Impossible: We (I) Don’t Have The Resources
Honestly, how often do you think or verbalize this thought? I don’t have the money, the time, the experience, the knowledge, to reach my goal. Therefore, I can't take that step, to do what I really want to do, to be where I really want to be. The real danger...
Change is hard!!
I am at Publix eating a salad here in Fort Myers, Florida, when I see George, who has been bagging groceries here since at least 2002, when Melissa and I were living at Red Cedar Drive apartments. There is a certain comfort in seeing George still here; still working...

Perspective
I turned 45 years old in April. It is hard to believe. I am grateful for where I am today, my faith, my family, my team, my community. The average lifespan in the Unted States today is 78 years. I am shooting for 90. So this means I am now at the half-way point. My desire is to make the second half better than the first; and I intend to spend my time building great relationships – as I believe relationships to be a most valuable part of life.
The Seagull vs. The Sandpiper
On a recent family vacation to one of our favorite places – Long Boat Key, Florida – we spent the majority of our time on the beach, enjoying Gulf breezes, watching and playing with the kids, having good conversation, and enjoying this beautiful state we live in.
While we were away, I was reminded of how important it is to get away and “Sharpen the Saw,” as Dr. Stephen Covey has said. Covey is the author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, and I can say without a doubt this this book was the catalyst that developed my passion for leadership and began an exciting journey of self-transformation.
The Most Important Question We Can Ask As a Leader
As our company grows, I am continually reminded of our most vital asset – our people. Recognizing that each team member is a person with human strengths and weaknesses, instead of as a collective staff object, or another business asset, has transformed my mind as a...
A Gift for You
My daughter Anna just celebrated her 10th birthday. She was so excited to be double digits! She entertained 11 of her friends at our home for a sleepover. (I do have the greatest wife in the world.) The girls played games, swam in the pool, and watched...
Introducing Allied Physical Therapy’s New CEO
I do love new beginnings; a new year, a new day, launching a new endeavor, or the enthusiasm of a new team member. All of these examples give me great energy and inspiration. However, as much as I love new beginnings, I have learned that the real test of a leader is...
