ABOUT US
I work with leaders in the community who are ready to grow and build sustainable systems around their mission.
My foundation was built in organized competitive sports. Multiple seasons, multiple sports, and environments where discipline, teamwork, and accountability were non-negotiable. Athletics shaped how I understand performance. Preparation matters, systems matter, leadership matters.
As an adult, my mission became clear. I have to give back to the same communities that made me who I am.
I began as a volunteer football coach for a Queens youth organization. That commitment evolved into serving as Junior Varsity Defensive Coordinator at Campus Magnet High School, and later as Head Coach for the Queens Stallions semi-professional football organization. Coaching at each level strengthened my ability to develop people, build culture, and lead under pressure.
Around the same time, I joined American Youth Officials and what began as training in officiating football, volleyball, baseball, and softball, became a deep dive into standards, governance, and accountability. My years of service were rewarded by being elected to the governing board. I have been in this position for more than a decade and now proudly serve as Executive Director, leading operations, oversight, board coordination, program execution, and long-term sustainability planning.
Professionally, my leadership foundation was developed in the sheetmetal trade. I began in sheet metal fabrication, advanced into project management for commercial HVAC contractors, and ultimately became the owner of an HVAC company. I understand operations from the ground level, which is the worker’s perspective, this understanding helps me to see things from multiple perspectives. Understanding what the front line is experiencing is vital to systems development. This perspective, married with the executive level, enables systems, budgeting, staffing, and risk management to have the most impact as possible. I operate inside the tension between field execution and the executive expectation, preparing the company for its next level of growth.
That dual perspective defines how I lead.
Partnering with Vivian Mandala, founder of CMC Coaching, has expanded my operational lens even further. Together, we examine organizations not just for activity, but for structure. Not just for intention, but for durability.
Through this partnership, I’ve:
expanded my knowledge of the mechanics of nonprofit and for-profit systems, including where organizations succeed and where they fracture.
expanded my mindset with the discipline of continuous learning and vigilance in leadership.
expanded my reach, increasing my ability to serve, mentor, and build infrastructure that supports sustainable community impact.
Today, not only am I serving as the ED of American Youth Officials and a coach for nonprofit organizations ready to level up, I also serve as President of the Board of CMC Workforce, where I focus on operational systems, workforce alignment, strategic execution, and leadership accountability.
At the end of the day, my work centers on ensuring that mission-driven organizations are not just passionate but structurally sound and operationally resilient as well.
This is not surface-level service.
We examine the structure.
We clarify authority.
We strengthen accountability.
We align operations with missions.
If you are willing to examine your leadership patterns, clarify authority, and build structure that supports your mission long-term, we may be a strong fit.
My work applies systems theory to nonprofit leadership architecture.
My professional foundation is in construction operations and workforce development — environments where leadership is tested under pressure and systems either hold or collapse. That experience shaped how I think about organizations: clarity before expansion, structure before scale, accountability before comfort.
As the founder of CMC Workforce and CMC Coaching, I have built workforce training programs, led board governance, developed strategic partnerships, and coached contractors and nonprofit leaders navigating growth, compliance, funding instability, and operational bottlenecks. The work requires strategic discipline, emotional intelligence, and operational rigor — often simultaneously.
Through CMC Coaching, I advise leaders on decision bottlenecks, authority clarity, infrastructure design, and organizational durability. My approach is grounded in execution — not theory detached from consequence.
Partnering with Ajua expanded my work more deeply within the nonprofit sector, beginning with the relaunch and growth of CMC Workforce and extending into the broader ecosystem of mission-driven organizations he was already serving.
Ajua leads from community and family. His commitment to access and affordability reshaped how our programs operate — ensuring that leadership development and workforce training remain financially accessible and community-rooted. His ability to identify, mentor, and elevate high-capacity leaders strengthened our leadership pipeline and expanded our reach.
While I focus on systems integrity and structural clarity, Ajua strengthens culture, trust, and talent activation. Together, we bridge disciplined infrastructure with community stewardship — ensuring that strong systems serve real people.
Today, we advise nonprofit executives and founders who want to mature their leadership and strengthen the architecture of their organizations — not simply increase activity, but build systems that withstand pressure.
My work is research-informed and practice-tested. As I pursue doctoral study in Organizational Psychology, I continue deepening my focus on leadership systems, decision-making patterns, authority dynamics, and organizational behavior.
I approach every engagement as both operator and researcher:
Examining how you think.
Examining how your organization actually functions.
Identifying structural friction points.
Building durable systems that withstand growth, turnover, and funding shifts.
This is not motivational work. It is developmental work.
If you are willing to examine your leadership patterns, clarify authority, and build structure that supports your mission long-term, we may be a strong fit.
