After 26 years, 10 companies, and 29 moves across the country, I finally put my journey on paper—real stories, real lessons, and the hard-earned truths that shaped my career in business, leadership, and life.
“48 Lessons Learned the Hard Way: Business, People, and Leadership – Unfiltered” is exactly what it sounds like—blunt, brutally honest, and packed with experiences no one warns you about:
- Navigating public corporations, private equity sweatshops, and family-owned dynasties.
- Lessons from wins, losses, and the times I crashed and burned (spectacularly).
- The realities of sales, leadership, and growth—no fluff, no filler, just the stuff that matters.
Mark your calendars for April 1st—and no, this isn’t an April Fools’ joke (though the irony isn’t lost on me).
All books are scheduled to be released and available in hardcover, paperback, and Kindle. Pre-order now!

If you’re trying to figure out your next move—whether it’s building a business, climbing the corporate ladder, or deciding between dental school and the business world—this book might give you the perspective you need. (Either way, you’ll have good teeth.)
And for those of you still waiting on the JFK files to reveal something groundbreaking—spoiler alert—this book is way more interesting, has fewer redactions, and won’t leave you questioning reality. Well, at least not as much.
Get ready to laugh (mostly at my expense), rethink how you think, and walk away with a few lessons you didn’t have to learn the hard way.
April 1st is right around the corner … Buckle up!
