How I Discovered the Fastest Way to Gain Credibility, Visibility, and Impact

Years ago, I sat across from a brilliant coaching client—she had the credentials, the training, the drive. But her phone wasn’t ringing. Her impact was capped. And I knew why.

She hadn’t yet told her story.

That moment flipped a switch in me. I had spent years as a Master Certified Coach, helping business owners, speakers, and coaches grow their careers and their confidence. But I kept seeing a pattern: the ones who broke through were the ones who had a book.

A book wasn’t just a business card. It was their foundation. Their authority. Their message in permanent form.

That realization changed everything for me—and for the people I worked with. I wrote my first nonfiction book, You Should Write a Book!, in 2013. And since then, I’ve helped speakers land higher-paid gigs, coaches attract more clients, doctors reach national audiences, and everyday people leave lasting legacies through the books they never believed they could write.

I founded Suncoast Digital Press, Inc. not just to publish books, but to empower voices—especially those with stories worth telling and missions worth spreading. My clients come from every background, but they all have something in common: they’re ready to make a bigger impact.

Sometimes that means helping a TEDx speaker craft their signature idea into a book. Other times, it means guiding a legacy-driven grandfather through writing his life lessons for future generations. And in every case, we build something powerful together.

I help people tell the story only they can tell—and then publish it in a way that opens doors.

My “personal brand statement” is:

I help people with a bigger vision to find their voice, to share their message through publishing a purpose-driven book. There’s nothing that gives you more credibility, visibility, and impact than having a book… not just any book, but a great book.

I feel so fortunate to work every day immersed in what I am most passionate about. After decades as an entrepreneur and creator, I’ve returned to my roots in Central Florida. When not reading, writing, editing, or coaching, I’m out in nature, usually kayaking or fishing—actually, I read and write outdoors, too!

If you’ve got a message that matters—a story you know people need to hear—I’d love to help you bring it to life.
