Posse started in 1989 because of one student who said, “I never would have dropped out of college if I had my posse with me.” The Posse Foundation identifies public high school students with extraordinary academic and leadership potential who may be overlooked by traditional college selection processes. The Foundation extends to these students the opportunity to pursue personal and academic excellence by placing them in supportive, multicultural teams—Posses—of 10 students. The Foundation’s partner colleges and universities award Posse Scholars full-tuition leadership scholarships. The Posse Foundation is a national initiative with program offices in 10 cities: Atlanta, the Bay Area, Boston, Chicago, D.C., Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, New Orleans and New York. Posse recruits students from 20-plus cities across the United States, and nationwide through the Posse Veterans Program.

I left my Corporate career at the age of 30 to pursue a dream of competing in the Olympics. Four years later I became an Olympic Silver medalist in the sport of bobsled. Pulling from over 10 years of sales management experience and my time as an elite level athlete I speak on a range of topics including: goal setting, authentic leadership, confronting and overcoming adversity to wide variety of audiences (Universities, Corporate leadership & diversity groups, non-profits). I am using my story and experiences to enact large-scale change, one organization at a time. Click below to watch my Tedx talk and review my speaks bio.
