I’ve spent years in high-stakes environments—the U.S. Air Force, international business, strategy consulting, and the fast-paced world of Silicon Valley. I’m also a husband and father of four.

Over the course of my career, I was chasing excellence on the outside…

But inside, the mounting stress, spiritual drift, fractured relationships, and misalignment with my God-given mission were holding me back big time.

What I needed wasn’t more information or hustle.

I needed a clear, grace-filled framework—one that could guide real growth in the middle of real life.

That’s how 10x Your Talents was born.

I still use this framework daily—not because I’ve mastered it, but because formation is a lifelong journey, and we grow stronger when we walk it together.

🌱 The Framework: From Identity to Impact

The 10 Talent Stack Pillars

This isn’t a self-help checklist.

It’s a layered approach to growth—rooted in Christ, powered by grace, and ordered toward fruitfulness. The 10 Talent Stack Pillars move in an upward trajectory:

IDENTITY

• Faith – Rooted in Christ and nourished by grace

• Relationships – Strengthened by connection and accountability

  WELL-BEING 

• Health – Stewarding your body and mind for endurance

FORMATION 

• Temperament – Understanding your inner wiring and patterns

• Strengths – Leaning into what energizes and distinguishes you

• Learning – Pursuing wisdom for lifelong growth

IMPACT

• Work – Engaging in dignified labor with purpose
• Stewardship – Managing your time, energy, and resources with prudence and generosity

• Service – Devoting your gifts to others for the glory of God

Each pillar gives you a place to reassess, realign, and reattack—without losing sight of what matters most.
