Process, Hard Work, and Creativity: A Competitive Approach to Strategy

As a lifelong athlete and competitor, I’ve learned that success isn’t just about talent—it’s about preparation, focus, and embracing both wins and losses. My experiences, from playing college baseball to leading teams as a head coach, have shown me the importance of resilience and staying committed to the process.

Founding a startup taught me how to turn vision into action. I developed an app, secured investments, partnered with local universities and businesses, and adapted to challenges by creating new revenue streams during the pandemic. These experiences sharpened my creativity, adaptability, and ability to execute under pressure.

As head of operations for a baseball organization, I refined my leadership and organizational skills. I emphasized clear communication, accountability, and building a culture where hard work and attention to detail drive results.

The lessons I’ve learned through competition have shaped how I connect to strategy. Strategy, to me, is the framework where preparation meets opportunity, allowing hard work to reveal its potential and take over. It’s not just what I do—it’s how I approach everything.
