What will Kentucky Book Festival visitors find on your table?

Visitors will get to see Winning Tools: 3 Leadership Principles that Build Purpose, Respect and Success – a #1 Amazon Best Seller and my first book.

Whom do you invite to stop by? Who will benefit from reading your book?

I would invite any leader or aspiring leader who could benefit from a simple operating system for growth in life, leadership and business. Remember, you may not be in a position of leadership in your profession, but you have to lead yourself every day. I truly believe that these guiding principles can and will serve anyone wanting to become a better version of themselves.

Could you please tell us something curious about you and/or your book?

As a college basketball coach, I was fortunate enough to be surrounded by so many legends of the game, from Pat Summitt to Billy Donovan. In the book, you’ll find many never before told stories from the years I spent learning from some of the best minds in the game. (Bonus: many will make you laugh, too!)

Is this your first time participating in Kentucky Book Festival? If yes – what are you looking forward to the most? 

I am so proud to share my very first book with the people of Kentucky. Kentucky has been so good to me and my family and we love calling this place home. It is special to be able to attend as a brand new author and I look forward to seeing and meeting the readers!
