Meet Kenny

  • Bridging the gap between education and experience; my work focuses on emotional intelligence, communication, mental fitness, stress-management and positive psychology. Raising team resonance and culture through self-leadership and team dynamics.

  • Served as a young SEAL among legends in the community. 18-24 years old building a foundation of skills and traits I carry to this day.

  • Served 8 years as part of the laddertruck, heavy rescue, water rescue, and instructor cadre.

  • From an 18-U national gold medal, to DIv. 1 NCAA; waterpolo instilled teamwork and performance under pressure.

  • My work is attributed by ongoing study and professional experience; thousands of hours analyzing everything from stoicism to organizational psychology, neuroscience to ancient warrior wisdom. A neurotic philomath seeking to understand, yet question.

    I integrate practical experience with research on human performance, team dynamics, and leadership effectiveness.

    *BA in International Relations with a minor in Education from UCSB.

  • A dedicated father to two young sons living on a jungle farm on Hawaii’s Big Island.

    A hobbyist woodworker, nature seeker, waterman, animal collector, and mindfulness practitioner.

    I do my best to practice what I preach.

Experience across elite teams shaped my perspective on leadership, team resonance, communication, and performing under pressure.

Real-world solutions to the human challenges most teams struggle with.

Most performance issues aren’t technical, they’re human.

  • Unspoken tensions. Personality conflict. Lack of trust.

  • Leadership teams creating confusion through mixed signals. Priorities and expectations are misaligned.

  • Unclear, minimal, defensive communication becomes baseline. Small conflicts become big conflicts.

  • Low ownership and self-efficacy. Frustration grows while progress slows. Dissonance spreads.

  • Pressure, lack of trust, unclear expectations lead to bottlenecks and hidden chaos. Leading to sabotage and resentment.

  • Leaders promoted through strong technical skills but underdeveloped leadership skills.

Helping teams thrive through human development.

Equip your leaders and team with the emotional intelligence, adaptability, and authenticity to build AND maintain a healthy, high-performing culture.

I’ve spent two decades on high-performing teams - the US Navy SEAL Teams, the fire department, and elite sports.

Teams that spend a lot of time together from work to cooking, training to cleaning.

It’s given me insight into human behavior and team synergy that most people study about in classrooms.

I combine my innate skills with my unique experience to help organizations identify what their sticking points are, and how to improve it. No cookie-cutting allowed; direct, applicable, and adaptable to you and your people.

When people grow, thrive, and are self-driven; the team’s performance follows.

If you are seeking to lower workforce dissonance, re-ignite engagement, and elevate leadership; you are at the right place.

Leaders set the tone.

Culture drives performance.

Your people are your advantage.
