If I don't get back to you within 24 hours I'm either on the road inspiring students or on daddy duty with our one year old and two year old.

Catch us most weekends at Bresnan Bread and Pastry in McKinney, TX — me with a pizza and a kombucha and two little sets of fingers trying to get at every single bite.

I'm a husband, a dad, and a speaker who genuinely loves what I do. I drink coffee and espresso shots to keep up with all of it. I'll always get back to you within 48 hours.
