From the Foxhole…Why I Chose This Name

When things get tough and you think you're all alone...and that the world is closing in...that's when you need someone in your foxhole...right there with you, letting you know that we got this...

A foxhole isn’t about hiding...it’s about holding your position when the pressure hits...it’s about getting steady before you move again...it's about knowing that the guy in the foxhole with you, has your back...

That’s what this blog is...reflections from the front lines of business, family, and faith.

Real stories from my business and personal life…about what it takes to lead when life hits back...and hopefully they come at the right time for you and whatever life brings to you...

In the Trenches

Most people write about success from the summit...but I’ve never been interested in that view.

The lessons that shaped me didn’t come from a stage or a spotlight...they came from the field…from years of selling, failing, leading, and rebuilding...

From early mornings in the gym and late nights by the pond...from conversations with my wife when everything felt heavy…and from watching my kids chase their dreams with courage I wish I’d had at their age...from my climbs up the mountain, only to fall down the other side...and then got back up again...

That’s what I bring to the foxhole.

It’s where real leadership is forged...not in theory…but in reality.

The Meaning Behind the Name

A foxhole is a fighting position...a place soldiers dig when the battle gets close...it’s where they anchor themselves, adapt, and prepare for what’s next.

That image always stuck with me...in life, business, and family…when you're in the foxhole, the fight is real.

Pressure, doubt, temptation, and fear...they all come for you.

The foxhole is where you regroup...where you protect what matters and recommit to the mission.

When I write “From the Foxhole,” it’s not about war...it’s about the discipline to stay grounded when the world keeps moving fast...it’s about courage in the moments that scare you.

The Promise

Here’s what you can expect in this space...no sugarcoating...no recycled motivational fluff.

Just stories, sales lessons, and unfiltered truths from the field...thoughts on life, leadership, losing your way, and finding it again...straight talk...a few laughs...maybe even a pond metaphor or two.

From the foxhole…everything looks different...

You see the fight for what it really is...and yourself for who you really are.

That’s what this blog is about...it’s where real people reset, reflect, and rebuild.

Welcome to "From the Foxhole".
