Since then, he has coached over 220 corporate leaders, inspiring and equipping them to bring their best selves to both the boardroom and the living room.

​

Cory is the author of two best-selling books, Win at Home First, named by Forbes as  ‘7 Books Everyone On Your Team Should Read’, and Rise and Go, a practical guide to getting back up quicker after life’s challenges. 

​​

He also hosts the Win at Home First podcast, ranked in the top 1.5% globally, and co-founded RISE, a nationwide community for male business leaders committed to excelling at work and home.

​

A husband and father of three, Cory lives in Cincinnati, Ohio, with his wife and children. He holds a Civil Engineering degree from the University of Missouri and an MBA from Rockhurst University.
