Big Bearded Ginger – My Story & Personal Brand

You might be wondering: why call myself the Big Bearded Ginger?

Simple. It’s authentic. It’s memorable. And it represents how I show up — fully, confidently, and unapologetically myself.

I’ve learned that in both life and business, people remember the human side of you before they remember your resume. My look might catch your eye, but it’s the skills behind the beard that make the impact: leadership, process improvement, and a relentless drive to make teams stronger and systems smarter.

As a Lean Six Sigma professional based in Billings, Montana, I’ve worked with teams to cut waste, streamline operations, and build lasting improvements. But I’ve also learned the power of showing up with personality — not just processes.

When I started embracing the nickname “Big Bearded Ginger,” I noticed something interesting: people remembered me. In networking, interviews, and even casual conversations, that identity stuck — and it opened doors. It became a way to start conversations, build trust faster, and stand out in a crowded field of professionals with similar résumés. Now, I use it as a tool — a bridge between personality and professionalism.

Branding myself this way isn’t about being flashy. It’s about being approachable, standing out in a sea of sameness, and showing clients and collaborators that they’re dealing with a real person who cares deeply about results and relationships.
