Why We're Different
Our Mission is Simple: Help Companies Succeed
How do you define success? Revenue? Profit? Growth? Social Impact? Sale of the Company? If you don't have a clear definition of success (you'd be surprised how many companies don't) we can help.
All of our Directors have real world executive experience in fast paced, ultra-high pressure situations. We celebrated incredible successes. We made significant mistakes. We've failed -- more than once. But when the dust settled, we were still standing. We defined success and we achieved it. So why start a new company? Why not play golf or make fine furniture or visit the world's best fishing locations?
​
We want to help, and we know we can.
​
To a person, our greatest rewards have come from leading teams to outperform each member's individual highest expectations. We love watching people succeed, and if we can have a small hand in that success, well -- it just doesn't get any better. We focus on your needs, help you produce new ideas, develop effective strategies and design high quality and scalable solutions.
​
Our strength is our experience. Personal and professional. We're truly unique. Learn more about each of us here.

Our Priorities
​
Ask ten consulting companies what their priorities are, and we'll bet nine of them will tell you their first priority is their customer.
Not us.
Our priorities are our faith, our families, our selves, and then our customers. Yep, you're number 4.
Faith is personal. We believe if we actively tend our faith, we have a solid foundation to build on. That strong foundation lets us attend to what is truly important -- family. When we know our families are cared for can we focus on ourselves. If we're taking care of ourselves, only then can we provide the level of attention and service you deserve. If you need to be the top priority for your consultants, we're not for you. If you want a company who knows how to balance life and work We'd love to help you identify your priorities.
