An Officer, Not a Gentleman
Author
Bestselling author
I’ve spent much of my life in environments where the stakes are high and the margins for error are small. From fast jet cockpits to boardrooms, and now to the page, I’ve learned that the most powerful stories we carry are the ones we’re often afraid to tell.
Writing has been a way to make sense of those experiences.
The fear. The failure. The resilience. The grit.
And the quiet, unexpected moments of grace.
As an author, my work explores what it means to step forward when you’re not sure you can. To lead when you feel small. To trust yourself when everything feels uncertain. These are the stories I needed when I was younger and the ones I now feel called to share.
