“True leadership starts with emotional intelligence, vulnerability, and connection.”

Richard’s leadership experience spans over 30 years in high-stakes environments as a Navy SEAL and Firefighter Paramedic. But his most profound transformation came when he realized that true leadership begins with self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and the ability to connect deeply with others. This shift in perspective led him to pursue coaching and mentorship, using his own journey to help leaders navigate adversity and lead with integrity.

Certified through the John Maxwell Leadership Team and with advanced training in integrative somatic trauma therapy, Richard specializes in helping leaders turn conflict into collaboration, pressure into performance, and disconnection into trust. His mission is to help organizations and individuals develop the emotional resilience needed to foster trust, clarity, and compassionate leadership in high-pressure situations.
