These values aren’t just ideals; they are the pillars that shape my leadership, thinking, and creative philosophy. Each one is a foundation upon which I develop strategies and inspire action.

DiSC Profile

My behavioral style has evolved from a results-driven leader to one who balances analytical precision with forward momentum. My journey through the DiSC spectrum, from a high-D driver to my current C style, reflects a deeper understanding that the best outcomes come not just from individual excellence, but from thoughtful consideration, collaboration, and collective potential.

I challenge assumptions not to be contrarian, but to reveal what’s possible. My mind naturally dissects problems, examining them from every angle until patterns emerge and possibilities reveal themselves. This isn’t just about being precise—it’s about finding truth, cutting through noise to uncover what’s real and impactful.

My blue-collar roots have instilled a particular kind of grit, unlike a typical C, I move decisively once clarity is there. This balance allows me to not just identify hidden potential, but to build the frameworks and relationships that help teams capture it.

Through this lens, I challenge assumptions not to disrupt, but to reveal what’s possible. Whether I’m guiding strategy or refining systems, my goal is to illuminate paths forward that serve both the mission and the people pursuing it. It’s about finding truth in complexity and turning insight into impact—always with an eye toward the collective success of the team.

Enneagram

I am a Five at best – and I mean that quite literally. Like any good Five, I’ve thoroughly analyzed this statement from multiple angles and can confirm its accuracy with 98% confidence (leaving 2% for quantum uncertainty, naturally).

What does this mean? I’m an investigator by nature, someone who instinctively withdraws not to hide, but to distill—finding essential truths in complexity. My natural habitat is the space between observation and insight, where patterns emerge from chaos and possibilities wait to be discovered. Yes, I’m that person who needs to understand how everything works, though I’ve learned that not everyone wants a detailed explanation of organizational systems over dinner.

My Four wing adds an artistic twist to my analytical core, helping me find beauty in the patterns others might miss. Meanwhile, my connection to Eight means I don’t just collect insights – I put them to use. It’s an unusual combination: the researcher’s precision with the innovator’s drive to create change.

In the end, being a Five isn’t just about being the observer in the corner (though you’ll often find me there, taking mental notes). It’s about seeing the hidden connections, challenging the accepted wisdom, and using that understanding to create new possibilities. And yes, I’ve probably already thought about all the ways this could go wrong—but I’ve also figured out how to make it right.

Fascination Archetype

As The Architect, I bring a distinct combination of Prestige and Mystique that shapes how the world sees me. This isn’t just about being analytical or reserved—it’s about the art of calculated impact.

Prestige, my primary advantage manifests as:

  • A commitment to mastery rather than mere competence
  • The ability to elevate standards without overwhelming others
  • A natural talent for refining ideas until they achieve excellence
  • A focus on creating lasting value over quick wins

Mystique, my secondary advantage adds strategic power through:

  • Selective communication that gives weight to every word
  • The ability to let work speak louder than self-promotion
  • A talent for knowing when to reveal insights for maximum impact
  • The skill to intrigue rather than just inform

This particular combination create a unique dynamic where:

  • Ideas aren’t just shared—they’re strategically unveiled
  • Excellence isn’t just achieved—it’s architected
  • Impact isn’t just made—it’s carefully engineered
  • Leadership isn’t just exercised—it’s thoughtfully crafted

It’s a style that doesn’t demand attention but commands respect, built on the principle that true influence comes not from how much you say, but from how much value you create when you choose to speak. When I contribute, it’s not just to add to the conversation, but to elevate it. My influence comes not from volume or frequency, but from the precise application of insight at the right moment.

My Trust advantage is dormant, suggesting I thrive more on agility than predictable routines. I prefer to innovate and improve rather than maintain status quo, making me particularly effective at innovating, elevating standards, and introducing new approaches.
