From the quiet wisdom of a sun-drenched country road to the focused energy of a board meeting, life offers invaluable lessons in unexpected places. Boardrooms and Backroads is where these two worlds converge. Having journeyed down both literal and figurative backroads, I've discovered that the principles of resourcefulness, community, and clear-eyed vision are just as vital in managing an independent school's finances and operations as they are in navigating life's unpredictable turns. Join me as we explore this unique landscape, uncovering practical insights and fresh perspectives for a more grounded approach to educational leadership.

Core Values

 

Five values shape every engagement, every piece of writing, and every trail. They are not aspirational—they are inherited.

​

  • Hard Work. Effort is not optional. The work gets done because it is worth doing, not because it is easy.

  • Authenticity. Leaders are most credible when they show up as themselves—imperfections, convictions, and all.

  • Integrity. What we say in the boardroom, on the trail, and at home is the same. Reputation is built one quiet decision at a time.

  • Service. Service to God, to family, to country, and to those in need. Every engagement is measured by whether it lifts the people the client serves.

  • Wisdom from Both Worlds. The clarity of the boardroom and the grit of the backroads are not in tension. The best leaders carry both.
