LEGACY & LINEAGE

While he was working his way up the ranks in the global security division of Ford Motor Company, my father was also studying the psychology of leadership to earn his doctorate in the years after I was born. 

His dissertation specifically examined how personality types and learning styles shaped who rose to power, who got heard, and who got overlooked. 

The findings revealed a disturbing truth: the vast majority of corporate and security leaders came from just one narrow psychological profile—rigid, authoritative, and emotionally avoidant. 

He found that typological dominance can create entire systems that reward compliance, punish nuance, and exclude emotional intelligence altogether. 

Sound like your profession too? 

After completing his doctorate, he left the corporate ladder to finally assume his ultimate dream job: college teaching. As a professor, he spent over 20 years teaching criminal justice, leadership, sociology, and security—not to enforce order, but to help the next generation learn how to improve the very structures he had once worked inside. 

My father taught that systems can only thrive if they are designed to honor more than one kind of person. More than one way of learning. More than one kind of voice. 

What he didn’t have a chance to do was build a solution—

That’s where I come in.

He exposed the psychological rigidity of power structures.

I'm now helping to design income systems that work for intuitive, creative, emotionally attuned entrepreneurs and leaders—the very people those structures once excluded.

He believed personality and learning style mattered.

I turned that belief into diagnostic tools and frameworks that don’t just analyze people.

They help people earn congruently from who they are. 

He stood in the classroom.

I stand in the fire—with clients whose income, safety, and self-worth have been undermined by systems just like the ones he studied.

He believed in education.

I do too. 

But I also believe in transformation—and in building new and improved systems from the inside out.

My father asked: 

“What happens when leadership only looks one way?”

I answered:

“What if income, voice, and power could be built to reflect who we actually are—without contortion, without burnout, and without erasure?”

He held the question.

I built the response.

He taught students how to think about systems.

I'm now helping students, entrepreneurs, creators, and industry-shifting professionals realize how they can build new ones.

I am not just my father’s son.

I am his answer.

Part of what drove me to study vocal performance—and ultimately earn a Doctor of Musical Arts—was an intuitive knowing: 

I was inside a system designed to suppress the talent of people like me.

I didn’t just want to survive it.

I wanted to beat it.

Vocal music may have been a contrasting field to my father’s—and with very contrasting typologies.

But the dynamic was the same:

Systems that rewarded compliance, flattened nuance, and erased the very brilliance they claimed to cultivate.

My doctoral research explored the lesser-known German Romantic composer Carl Loewe and his work Gregor auf dem Stein—a dramatic ballad cycle rooted in themes of exile, transformation, and spiritual return.

At the time, I thought I was just writing about the music.

In truth, I was studying how structure holds emotion—and how the voice can be used to carry what systems try to erase.

That same tension now lives in my work with entrepreneurs: building frameworks that don’t suppress power, but hold it.

My father studied the system. 

I studied the song.

This business carries both.

His work continues to live on in mine—refined, embodied, and applied.

Where he warned, I rewrite.

Where he diagnosed, I design.

Where he stopped at the podium, I stepped into the marketplace.

This business doesn’t just reflect my voice.

It carries forward his legacy.

It took me a while to realize that I wasn’t just building a business—I was carrying forward my father’s unfinished work. 

I was the next chapter. 

 It’s because it wasn’t.

You weren’t too sensitive.
You weren’t too complicated.
You weren’t too ambitious or too much.

You were just trying to build a life inside a structure that didn’t know how to hold you. 

This work is for people like us.

People who feel deeply, think rigorously, and want to earn without diluting who they are.

That’s who I built this for.

That’s who I built it with.

And if you know someone this was written for—
someone whose brilliance has always lived outside the lines—
don’t keep it to yourself.

This is the infrastructure he never got to see—
but absolutely would have recognized.

From father to son.
From question to structure.
From survival to sovereignty.

Now it’s your move.

You know you don’t need more content.

You need structure that reflects how you’re meant to earn.
