For decades, I worked in clinical and administrative roles in mental health, eating disorders, and substance abuse, serving children, teens, families, and adults through individual sessions, group work, and community initiatives.

2019 was a transformative year for me. I founded the Knoxville Happiness Coalition, hosting meetings until March 2020, when the pandemic halted in-person gatherings. Our events featured speakers from diverse backgrounds who had discovered happiness. This inspired me to study happiness and positive psychology, earning a certification from the Fellowship's premier masterclass on organizational culture and completing a leadership and management certification through Wharton Online.

In 2019, I began teaching at the University of Tennessee’s Center for Professional Education & Lifelong Learning. That same year, I joined the World Happiness Fest, planning an event for March 2020 to promote cross-cultural happiness. Around this time, I lost my role as a program coordinator due to layoffs. I created my first online course in 2019, and joined LearnFormula 2021. Since then, I’ve developed 20 courses on leadership, communication, workforce skills, mental health, and organizational transformation.

In 2019, I also joined the Knoxville Association of Women Executives (KAWE), quickly accepting a board position. I became president in 2022 and led initiatives such as awarding scholarships to college students, recognizing women leaders with the Notable Woman Award, composing press releases, and managing marketing campaigns on social media. I supported board transitions in 2023 to ensure continued success with community projects and leadership development.

In 2020, I joined the board of the Oak Ridge Human Resources Association (ORHRA), leading programs to advance local HR initiatives. By 2022, I helped form the Oak Ridge Human Resources Alliance as ORHRA merged with the Oak Ridge Chamber. I continued as an advisor since 2023, to shape HR policies benefiting the community.

My vision for community improvement expanded through Life Betterment Through God, an initiative offering culture and leadership training for ministry leaders. Over the past five years, I’ve written extensively, podcasted, and launched a newsletter, Life Skills for Leadership, featuring three columns and a library of over 700 resources for organizations and ministries. My mission is to transform communities one person, church, and organization at a time.

My collaboration with the Crack the Wellness Foundation in Jaipur, India, has been a highlight of my career. As the curator and contributing author for the Global Joy: Unlocking Happiness Across Cultures book and advisor for the upcoming Global Happiness Forum, I’m fostering international dialogue with initiatives focusing on happiness and well-being.

I'm a Renaissance man trapped in a specialist's body. I started as a biologist. That's why I became an IT guy. I love science, but it doesn't pay the bills. I've been an IT professional for many years. I was a software developer with an elegant language for a more civilized age. I became a Quality Assurance Analyst because it's better to give than receive. I have been a process improvement specialist because it's easier to negotiate with a terrorist than a Methodologist. I've worked as a Scrum Master and Agile Coach. I have drunk the Kool-Aid, and it tastes good. I'm currently focusing on writing and speaking. Agile is a philosophy, not a methodology.
