From an early age, I have been aware of my need for salvation, raised by parents who knew and loved the Lord. However, as I matured in my faith, I realized that my understanding of salvation was based on the belief that I had to earn it through good works. I knew Christ, but I did not fully grasp that His love for me was enough. It was only through the power of the Holy Spirit that I came to understand the true Jesus—the One who offers unconditional love and grace.

As James 2:14-17 teaches, faith and works go hand in hand. Today, I live out my mission to make a difference, not out of obligation, but from a place of love—the love Christ demonstrated so perfectly. This mission aligns with the powerful words in John 21:15-17, where Jesus calls us to feed His sheep. Inspired by this passage, my purpose is to provide emotional and spiritual healing to those in need, by finding the lost, discipling the found, and sending them out into the world as faithful servants of God.

In practice, I strive to transform brokenness into wholeness through love, care, and spiritual nourishment. I believe that my ability to connect with individuals across all walks of life—respecting and valuing diversity in social standing, race, culture, and faith—positions me well to serve as a C12 Chair.

Throughout my career, I have been blessed with opportunities to lead, support, and uplift others. As Managing Director of a mining services company with a team of 1,400 people, I embraced servant leadership, ensuring that my team thrived both professionally and personally. Recognizing the need for deeper personal and business mentorship, I pursued qualifications as a Professional Business and Life Coach, equipping me to guide executives and individuals through complex challenges. Today, as a consultant, I work with C-suite teams to help them navigate both business strategy and interpersonal dynamics, combining sound business acumen with deep empathy and faith-driven leadership.

My role as a mentor and coach is about more than professional success; it is about fostering real, meaningful change. I am called to support and guide others toward a God-centered approach to leadership and life. This unique combination of business insight, coaching expertise, and spiritual wisdom allows me to serve as a trusted advisor in C12, helping business leaders integrate faith and purpose into their professional and personal journeys.

My current risk management consultancy is a lean, faith-driven operation that sustains my work and commitments. While financial resources for additional projects are limited, I have

consistently witnessed God’s provision in my journey. Trusting in His guidance and practicing disciplined resource management, I am confident in my ability to build and grow a C12 forum successfully.

My career has not been without trials, but these challenges have shaped me into the leader I am today. As Managing Director, I faced internal opposition that tested my resilience and commitment to integrity. Later, during a company sale and executive restructuring, I endured a period of personal and professional hardship under a new leadership team that sought to undermine my role. This difficult season strained my family, tested my faith, and challenged my health. Yet, through this adversity, I found clarity and renewed strength in God’s plan. I emerged with a deeper reliance on His wisdom, a stronger commitment to my values, and a profound understanding of the power of forgiveness and perseverance.

These experiences have refined my character, strengthened my faith, and prepared me for my next calling. They have deepened my empathy for those facing personal and professional struggles and strengthened my resolve to live out my faith in all aspects of my life. I now bring these lessons forward as a reminder that true growth often comes through adversity, and I am committed to helping others navigate their own journeys with faith, resilience, and purpose.
