about milton

At age 13, I started traveling internationally. Summers spent in Bermuda visiting extended family and a trip to Bahamas opened my eyes to the possibilities of worldwide life, cultures and experiences. I found the power of mobility and geographic freedom.  

At age 16, I found barbering (or barbering found me). It was a means to create financial freedom as a teenager, time freedom to have more experiences, develop entrepreneurial literacy, expressing my creative talents and helping people exceed their personal grooming goals. 

At age 18, I earned a full scholarship to Northwestern University (Evanston, IL) where I played football and received a B.S. in Education & Social Policy. It was during this time where I learned how people develop, influence, and shape their social settings–families, communities, educational institutions, and the workplace–across their lifespan.  After receiving a strong academic background and real-world experience, I led a successful career in sales and business development from 1997 to 2002 with companies such as, IBM® SPSS and Bayer Diagnostics. 

At age 28, I conceptualized and managed the entire capital raising, business development, construction build-out and implementation process of a start-up barbershop concept under the name Tailormade Male Grooming Center that transformed the barbering industry in the Chicagoland area. It was during this time that I was introduced to the management consulting industry. A loyal client of the barbershop (who happen to be a Senior Executive at Accenture) took note of my problem-solving ability and business acumen and convinced me to pursue a career at Accenture. After leading a successful consulting career at Accenture and Accenture Learning, I went on to hold senior leader roles at KPMG and Deloitte before becoming an Independent Consultant, of which I still am today. 

Today, my 28+ year career as an entrepreneur, management consultant and trusted advisor to multinational corporations garners me control of my time, and flexibility in my location. Fortune 100 companies have trusted me to guide their leaders through organizational change and transformation, leadership and professional development that help them achieve their goals. As a result, I have visited or worked in almost every major city/state in the U.S., as well as 10 countries. As a passion project, I'm currently developing property in the Central America region. 

I've coached countless individuals to live a life of purpose, authenticity and peak performance. How? By beginning the I AM TAILORMADE™ journey. What about your own life? What are you using your precious time and energy on? What are you accomplishing? Do you get up every day with a sense of anticipation or purpose? Do you feel that your work is a match for your abilities? Have you secretly thought you were meant to do something significant in life, but you don’t know what it is? Or how to discover it. The only way to know is to begin the journey inward and discover that you too are Tailormade!
