How a small-town Wyoming kid with a trunk full of guitar gear found the work of building leaders across global teams.
Crossings were built in early: born in Virginia, raised in a Wyoming town of 800 near Yellowstone. My mom taught school for 40 years; my dad immigrated from India. Listening across worlds felt normal before it ever became work.
In 1999, at twenty, I left college in North Carolina with a trunk full of guitar gear and the kind of plan self-taught musicians make when the dream is louder than the details. California had other ideas. Within months, I was playing gigs and working a Sacramento claims desk. Teaching myself guitar and playing in a band turned out to be good training for hearing people clearly, finding the groove, and knowing when to lead or make room.
Listening kept opening doors: claims, product training at EarthLink, enterprise sales at AT&T, and in October 2005, Apple as a B2B Account Manager. Twenty years and counting.
After six years on enterprise accounts, I made the pivot I'd been preparing for: a new coaching role and a chance to demonstrate the value of coaching. By 2014, my work centered on leadership development, coaching, culture change, and turning leader growth into repeatable practice. In 2018, I led the design of a coaching capability program that has since reached thousands of leaders.
The rest is what makes the work make sense. Twenty years married. Three kids, including one on the autism spectrum. My family has taught me more than any program I've built. A worship-team seat at church. Nonprofits I believe in. And two decades after that trunk of guitar gear, an EP I finally wrote, played, and produced, fittingly titled Beginnings.
