Welcome to Empowering Gender Opportunities, LLC

   I served 36 years in the Army—three years on active duty and 33 years with my hometown National Guard. Throughout my career, I worked full-time at Camp Johnson as a federal technician, serving as an Equal Opportunity and Diversity Manager. Upon retiring, I founded Empowering Gender Opportunities, LLC, a diversity consulting and education business dedicated to helping organizations recognize and address the harmful impacts of gender bias—whether it’s women's bias toward men, men's bias toward women, or any form of identity-based discrimination.

   Since retiring, I’ve devoted much of my time to writing my memoir, sharing my journey and the hard truths about sexism—an issue many accept as an inevitable part of life. Some manage it, some tolerate it, and others, like me, fight to disrupt the cycle of harm. This work is my calling, and I will continue as long as I am able.

On this page, you’ll find more information about my book, interviews, and posts reflecting my passion for challenging systemic sexism.

   If my message resonates with you, I’d love the opportunity to support you, your business, or your organization in creating meaningful change.
