WHO YOU WORK WITH MATTERS.

Our Story.

Ken, growing up with a Midwest work ethic, started working in the corn fields of Indiana at 8 years old.

He grew up with 2 generations of “want-to-be entrepreneurs” and saw a lot of boom or bust. He learned through their mistakes that they didn’t know how to run a business because they lacked the skills and structure to make them work. They just saw an opportunity, and more often than not, it ended up with the lights being out and the heat being turned off. So, learning from their mistakes, he decided he would learn from others first and sharpen his skills through people who knew what they were doing.

After several decades of running teams of 400+ people, companies with a PNL of a half billion dollars, and closing a $40M software deal just days after 9/11, he spent decades executing and chasing, being unbalanced, and working IN the business, not ON the business.

He lost interest and motivation and wasn’t inspired anymore by power, titles, and money. Instead, he saw a different path and purpose and created a business working as a fractional CEO/COO for many companies, specifically with business owners in chaotic industries. He was inspired by their passion, yet saw trends in what prevented their ability to scale and what kept them up at night. His mission is to help owners finally solve the core problems they are shackled with.


And, for Winter, she was taught by a single Mom of 3 that if you “go to college and get a good job with health insurance, you would be successful.”

Watching her Mom struggle on a salary of $14k a year, she vowed her life would be different, so she listened and graduated college. Her hard-earned education landed a $19k salary at her first job, and she worked her way up to a whopping $35k five years into her career. She decided there had to be a better way. She took a leap of faith, quit her job without a single client, and with only 2 months of savings in the bank, she started her own real estate company during the worst time in American History since the Great Depression….and despite everyone telling her, she would fail, became incredibly successful and recognized internationally on CNN, HGTV’s House Hunters, Interior Design & others.

After 2 decades in sales and marketing and dealing with high-net-worth individuals and executives selling nearly a quarter billion in products to them, along with being a constant student of growth in the psychology of how this type of individual makes decisions, she discovered a better way for them to achieve their goals in less time.


Ken & Winter’s combined experience created The Shift Spot™, a place where business owners make radical shifts in business and in life.
