In 1986 I founded Grand Teton Plumbing. Before that I worked across manufacturing, restaurant, retail, hotel, agriculture, transportation and construction industries. I even worked for awhile as a horse trainer. Then I served an apprenticeship as a plumber and earned my license. Next I earned my Master Plumber’s license. That’s when I went into business for myself and started GTP. I built up the company from nothing and sold it nearly 20 years later.
In 1994 I began tutoring English to Hispanic immigrants as a volunteer — to help people assimilate into the community. That decision changed the direction of my life. I developed new skills and a passion for helping people with English. In 2005 I moved to Mexico City. In 2006 I founded English Class CDMX.
For over 30 years I’ve worked with hundreds of people, managers, directors, and executives — helping them communicate, lead, present better, and accelerate their careers as a result. I’ve spent my life taking on big challenges, in many industries, in many places, with many kinds of people. I know what it takes to build something real. I know what it means to start over. I know what it feels like to be healthy, free from anxiety, and genuinely happy — and I know the path to get there isn’t always obvious. That experience is in everything I teach.
Things I know to be true: the rewards of Confident Mindful English are enormous. If you train with me you will reach your goals. My students tell me the training is truly life transforming. Fluent English gives you options, builds your self esteem, and can be the impetus for a life of freedom and joy.
Why train with me? I bring 40+ years of strategies, tactics, methods, and learned applicable life, business, and teaching wisdom — so you can communicate with confidence, advance your career, and become the leader you were meant to be.
