Denny—an executive leader, educator, and motivational speaker with more than 30 years of experience leading large, complex organizations through change, challenge, and growth.
Denny brings more than 30 years of leadership experience at the highest levels of the United States Air Force and Air National Guard, most recently serving as the senior enlisted advisor for NORAD’s Continental U.S. Region and First Air Force, responsible for the well-being, development, and readiness of over 10,000 Airmen across the nation.
Throughout his career, Denny lived the principles of LEAD. He learned by continuously growing as a leader and student of people. He empowered others by developing future senior leaders and building cultures rooted in trust and accountability. He adapted in complex, high-pressure environments—from combat deployments to homeland defense—never losing sight of the human element. And he consistently delivered, leading organizations responsible for defending our nation’s airspace and safeguarding the homeland.
Today, through LEAD Solutions, Denny challenges organizations to reconnect with their why, strengthen accountability, and invest in people as their greatest asset. His message is authentic, practical, and grounded in lived experience.
