What's your business, and who are your customers?
My primary job is as the City Manager of Dixon, Illinois. I have been with the City for 26 years and have 21 years of leadership experience. I began my career with the City as a police officer and served the last 10 years as police chief before being promoted to City Manager.

Tell us about yourself
I am driven to be in the position to create the greatest impact for the most amount of people in areas I am passionate about. My greatest passions are leadership, community, protecting people who cannot protect themselves, and helping those struggling with addiction and mental illness.
I created my business to help develop leaders grow from where they are to where they want to be. My goal is to help develop leaders who have a strong vision, people, and strategy skills.
The values and principles of 21st Century Leadership span across all professions, public or private sector. By helping grow leaders who value people and always get the result, we are able to fulfill our mission to create the greatest impact for the most amount of people across the world.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
As a business owner, my greatest accomplishment is being able to share high-level strategies to combat and prevent PTSD in police officers. I have had the opportunity to share featured presentations at the Alaskan FBINAA Conference and at the Illinois Chiefs of Police Annual Conference.
What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?
As small business owners, there are so many little things that we have to learn from website creation, marketing, content creation, time management, and landing high-paying consulting and speaking engagements that provide resources for the business to grow and create the greatest impact.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Have a clear vision of who you serve and what you want to accomplish.
- Surround yourself with great people, whether those people are mentors, coaches, or team members.
- Embrace the difficult times. They are where true growth occurs.
