Shoby is a true professional. He feels not just like a facilitator but a dear friend. We are so lucky to have Shoby guide us through this journey. I would highly recommend and encourage other forums to utilize his service.EO Houston Forum Member
I really thought everything was great. You responded perfectly to everything the group threw at you, which was A LOT! You were flexible and yet stayed on track. You were kind and non-judgmental, and at the same time, directed us to be careful of the pitfalls of advice-giving and judgment. You walked the line deftly! Thanks for making the facilitation a safe experience!Gail, EO San Antonio Forum
Shoby has a great feel for the temperament of the room. He’s able to pivot and make sure the group is accomplishing their needs more so than just sticking to the script. He’s an amazing person!EO Houston Forum Member
My Story
With over 25 years of experience in technology management and consulting, Shoby has worn many hats: solutions consultant, executive, entrepreneur, and nonprofit leader. He has served clients across diverse industries, strategically blending people, processes, and systems to solve complex business challenges. After successfully exiting his technology business, Shoby now focuses his energy on his true passion—helping others grow, evolve, and reach their highest potential while building great businesses with a greater purpose. A guiding mantra that resonates deeply with him is St. Jerome’s timeless wisdom: “Good, better, best. Never let it rest, until your good is better, and your better best.”
Shoby’s entrepreneurial journey includes co-founding two thriving companies and two impactful nonprofit organizations. He finds immense fulfillment in working alongside CEOs, business owners, peer advisory forums, and nonprofit leadership teams. Yet, his greatest joy comes from his role as a husband and father, where he finds his most important calling, purpose and inspiration.
