With over two decades of early childhood experience, including roles as a director, assistant director, and lead teacher, I’ve experienced firsthand the devastating impact of personality mismatches in the classroom. I’ve seen how one wrong hire can erode parent trust, damage team morale, and impact children’s sense of security.
My journey through every level of childcare—from assistant teacher to large center director—has given me unique insight into what truly makes teachers successful. It’s not just about credentials or experience; it’s about finding those rare individuals who bring natural emotional stability, genuine reliability, and authentic warmth to your classrooms.
Now, I’m combining my deep understanding of early childhood education with advanced personality science to help directors like you protect everything you’ve built. TraitX was born from my commitment to ensuring every child has teachers who create those calm, nurturing environments that parents trust and children need to thrive.

My journey to protecting early childhood programs started in an unlikely place—as a crimes against children detective. Those years taught me something invaluable: how to uncover what others miss. Today, I use those same investigative skills to help preschool directors identify personality traits that predict teaching success before making costly hiring investments.
As an active operator of multiple businesses and father of five (including two adopted children), I understand both the professional and personal stakes of creating stable, nurturing environments for children. My experience in building and leading teams across multiple industries has shown me that personality—more than any other factor—determines long-term success.
At TraitX, I combine my background in investigations, business operations, and child advocacy to help directors like you protect your programs from devastating hiring mistakes. Because I believe every child deserves teachers who bring that perfect blend of emotional stability, reliability, and genuine warmth to the classroom.
