My Story

Chad believes that small business owners don’t have to navigate the challenges of growth and work-life balance alone. As a business coach, his passion is to empower leaders with the tools, strategies, and insights they need to confidently and efficiently run their businesses, while reclaiming balance in their lives. Creating harmony between their professional ambitions and the life they want to live. Drawing from his 25+ years in the corporate world and the lessons he learned as a small business owner, he brings real-world experience and proven tools to support others.

When he started his first business, it lacked structure, and he quickly became frustrated by the demands of daily operations. With the support of a trusted brand like FocalPoint, he now partners with business leaders to overcome these challenges with world-class programs, built by Brian Tracy, tailored to each unique set of goals and priorities. Together, tackling the areas that need improvement and restore the balance business owners deserve.

“I know how hard this journey can be. When I started my business, I didn’t have a solid strategic plan in place, and I often found myself reacting to problems rather than proactively addressing them. The lack of structure and constant firefighting left me overwhelmed and on the brink of burnout, ready to give up entirely. That’s when I met a business coach who helped me take a step back, identify the root issues, and create a plan to turn things around. With his guidance, I transformed my business into a thriving operation and, more importantly, achieved the work-life balance I desperately needed. That transformation fuels my passion to help others create the same success in their own lives.”

Chad has a B.S. in Business Management with a minor in Real Estate from the University of Cincinnati.   He also is a Certified Sales Compensation Professional (CSCP) designated from the World at Work.
