From Broadway Lights to Career Insights: My Journey of Purposeful Pivots
Act I: The Performer
My first career began on stage—as an opera singer on Broadway. I loved the art of storytelling, the drama, the discipline, the thrill of it all.
That passion for performance eventually collided with my passion for Christ, and I founded a Christian punk rock band that reached hearts in a raw, real way.
Act II: The Spiritual Shepherd
Drawn by a deeper sense of mission, I entered full-time church ministry.
I pastored evangelical churches and walked closely with people in the joys and sorrows of life.
That same heart for service eventually led me to become a Chaplain in the U.S. Air Force and, later, a hospital and hospice chaplain, where I offered spiritual care at the bedsides of the sick and dying.
Act III: The Corporate Connector
Restless for a new challenge, I took a role as a trainer at Hewlett-Packard (HP), helping internal teams develop and grow. But I felt a stirring—something was missing.
One day, I came across a used bookstore selling products on Amazon. They needed a General Manager. I joined them—and one year later, bought the business outright.
I scaled the company to a 67-member team and grew our operations so effectively that we were acquired by Amazon itself. After the acquisition, I became a talent acquisition leader at Amazon—all while still pastoring a church and serving as a military chaplain on the side.
These years taught me how to lead, hire, coach, and build—with grit, grace, and purpose.
Act IV: The Career Coach
Today, as a career coach and founder of Career Upgrader, I bring all of those experiences together to help professionals navigate their own career crossroads with faith and clarity.
Whether they’re burned out, bored, or just unsure what’s next—I walk with them into a more meaningful, better-paying future that fits who they truly are.
