Known by his clients and colleagues for expanding curiosity, uncovering insights and driving action, Sam lives by his two favorite questions — “What if?” and “Why not?”— and his two favorite statements — “We can!” and “Let’s go!”
For close to two decades, Sam has worked with executives to drive effective change, create adaptive advantage and accelerate meaningful innovation. He does this by designing and facilitating experiential solutions including executive retreats, strategic planning engagements and leadership development offerings — all of which enable Sam to do what he is most passionate about: helping people see and believe in what’s possible.
Sam along with his wife & best friend, Maureen, live in Minneapolis and have enjoyed raising a large family (5 kids) which now includes their son-in-law and 3 grandchildren.
Sam graduated from Michigan State University, where he was a scholarship student athlete and Captain of the men’s gymnastics team. As a gymnast of 20 years, there were many highlights including a performance in the halftime show of Super Bowl XXVI. Today, Sam stays engaged with the sport as the voice of Gopher Gymnastics.
