With over 13 years of active duty service in the U.S. Army, I built and led teams, managed complex logistics and operational systems, and developed the kind of discipline that only comes from environments where the stakes are real. I served with the 101st Airborne Division at Fort Campbell and held leadership positions that required me to get results through people, not just processes.

I started Main Effort Consulting because I kept seeing the same problems in civilian organizations that I recognized from my military experience. Communication breaking down between levels. Accountability that existed on paper but not in practice. Leaders who knew something was wrong but could not identify the root cause. These are solvable problems. I know how to solve them.

My approach is direct. I observe before I conclude. I talk to the people doing the work before I talk to the people in charge of it. I deliver findings privately and verbally before they go into any document. And I do not put a recommendation in a report unless the person who owns it has confirmed they will execute it.
