I was about to die and realized I had never truly lived.

 In 1995, I was working as a teller for the Federal Employees Credit Union located in the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building when my life changed instantly. A loud boom erupted, and darkness enveloped me as I went into a three-story freefall. Finding myself entombed in concrete, I begged God to give me another chance. Over six hours later, rescuers pulled me from the rubble.

Embracing that second chance, I went back to college, earned my degree, lost weight and became an Ironman Triathlete. Today, I’m the CEO of that same Credit Union. Sometimes we all need a wake-up call. Mine was a bombing. This is yours. Through my experience and subsequent transformation, I want to help you live a purposeful life and achieve your wildest dreams. This is your life, and it’s your time. Live it with intention.
