Mr. Reed is a business professional with twenty-five years in management and executive positions for various Fortune 500 companies, governmental entities, and large consulting firms. The responsibilities included managing multi-million dollar departmental budgets and staffing blends of international, multi-generational, multi-cultural employees and consultants. He’s also an international endurance athlete, who has won age group and weight division trophies. He fuses these two unique backgrounds to lead project teams.

He’s been interviewed on radio and webcast programs and featured in the business, travel, and sports sections of major newspapers and publications across the country. This includes the PMI Today, Dallas Morning News, Runner’s World, Southern Living, Ebony, and the Journal of Accountancy.

He holds two graduate degrees and two undergraduate degrees. He’s also taught collegiate business management courses. He’s served on the Board of Directors for the Oracle Applications Users Group (OAUG), Ft. Worth’s Jubilee Theatre, the Dallas White Rock Marathon, and various local and international not-for-profit organizations.

He has spoken at national and international business conferences. This includes over 100 PMI and SIM engagements. He has five books and over 50 articles published. The articles have appeared in ComputerWorld, Datamation, Career Focus, and Runner’s World magazines. His book "The Achievement Equation: Your Formula for Success" describes how to reach personal and professional goals. His latest book, entitled "Running to Leadership: What Finishing 100+ Marathons On All Seven Continents Teaches Us About Success", focuses on building stronger team members.

He’s a Certified Running Coach and has completed 123 marathons (26.2-mile/42.2K) on all seven continents and in 48 States. This included the frigid Antarctica, Kenya’s dangerous SafriCom Lewa, and China’s Great Wall Marathons. Fewer than 225 people in the world had achieved this seven continents goal. (By comparison, over 2,500 people have reached Mt. Everest’s summit, including over 500 in one year.) Subsequently, his journeys were chronicled in his book, "Running Shoes Are Cheaper Than Insulin: Marathon Adventures On All Seven Continents."
