About Us

When you engage Beyond Sixth, you tap into a trusted network of seasoned professionals with proven results across diverse sectors. We bring deep expertise, fresh perspective, and a commitment to driving meaningful impact.

My grandfather, born in 1922, had to drop out of school after completing sixth grade to support his family. Growing up, I remember him solving difficult math problems in his head faster than I could calculate by hand. He always wanted to complete school and eventually continue on to college.

Because of his intelligence and drive, I often wondered what he would have accomplished had he been given the opportunity to pursue his dream of education beyond sixth grade. My grandfather went on to serve our country as a Sergeant in the United States Army during World War II and to lead a successful life as a husband, father, and mentor to many. He was a life-long learner and advocate of knowledge - instilling the value and importance of obtaining a high-quality education in his children and grandchildren.

His dream fuels my commitment to excellence, education, and outstanding service.

The name Beyond Sixth motivates me every day to help my clients go beyond what they currently do to accomplish more. We work with organizations to help them tap into and unlock their potential.
