Chip began his journey in life on a 350 acre Hereford farm in Western Pennsylvania. His roots in rural America taught him to work hard, to
honor God, and to show others dignity and respect. All his life he has been engaged in the study of human potential and behavioral change. Along the way he has been mastering the art of public speech and studying effective ways to enhance performance and ignite the fires of hope and untapped potential in others. He discovered his ultimate purpose after being diagnosed with cancer in 1995. That purpose is to encourage and inspire others to seek, discover and explore their ultimate potential.
This
self-discovery compels him to develop programs, products
and services that help others explore and exploit their
"greater selves."
