In 1995, with his expertise in high achievement, leadership/staff development, and wellness he founded "Fully Alive Performance Systems". Initially his company focused on coaching others one on one in high performance health, wellness, fitness, career, business and income building strategies. His first clients were many of the health care professionals he worked with in a hospital, including physicians, nurses and therapists.

Due to the results his clients were getting and the information they were learning, Fred began to receive invitations to speak at local businesses and organizations, community health events, government agencies and school districts interested in increasing employee performance and results and improving attitudes while lowering health care costs and workers compensation claims.

In 2002, Fred sensed a growing national need and began delivering his myth shattering, high energy, content filled and entertaining keynote and break out speeches to America’s organizations from Florida to Alaska. He is now in demand as his depth of high performance knowledge and experience is unique. His mix of leadership experience in corporate business, public organizations and entrepreneurship combined with his expertise as a wellness consultant gives him a broad range of understanding of how to motivate and bring out the best in ourselves and others.

He provides solid advice for improving professional and personal results with business and life challenges whether it be leading employees to excellence, maximizing revenues, improving the health and wellness of your leaders, recruiting and retention, service, or simply vision and passion for a more powerful, positive and productive future. Prepare to be inspired, refreshed and equipped to do better than ever!
