A U.S. Naval Academy graduate, Jerry later earned a Masters degree from the Naval War College with focus areas of complex organizational planning, budgeting, and operations. He is a Trust Edge Certified Partner with additional certifications in Executive Coaching, Communications Training, Lean 6Ο, and Negotiation Mastery. During over two decades of service as a Naval Officer, he led teams ranging from just a few to several thousand across 45 nations and six continents.
That experience and passion for developing clear, executable strategic vision and strong organizations led to his coaching focus: he partners with original owner/founders to help them build successful, trustworthy businesses around their amazing products while enhancing other aspects of their life to get there.
Jerry is a Leadership Greenville alumnus and serves as the President of the Palmetto Chapter of the US Naval Academy Alumni Association and Executive Vice President of the Navy League of the United States Upper South Carolina Council. Within his coaching community, he has been designated a Master Coach and serves as a FocalPoint Area Representative, a role in which he is a coach and mentor to other coaches. He is also proud to serve as a South Carolina Research Authority Resource Partner.
Entrepreneurship can be a lonely existence. Too often, a lack of a plan, a system, and time leave entrepreneurs feeling overwhelmed and frustrated. Jerry has seen that frustration in his clients, and has guided many business owners and executives to their versions of success. Through coaching, his clients set the goals they want to achieve, establish the metrics that matter for reaching those goals, solve the challenges they face, take the action needed to execute those solutions. Jerry believes that through business, owners and executives can build a life of π΄πͺπ¨π―πͺπ§πͺπ€π’π―π€π¦ and create a legacy of which they are proud.
