CAPTAIN James P. Gilbert (ret.)

With nearly five decades of experience as a business owner, entrepreneur, and educator, I bring a wealth of knowledge from a broad range of industries. My career spans from the front lines as a First Responder to top-level management, where I’ve led businesses at the forefront of technological innovation, including the integration of GPS and drone technology in both the fire service and the golf industry.

I’ve had the privilege of directing operations for major PGA Tour events and navigating the world of Yacht Brokerage and Yacht Charter sales. My passion for sailing, golf, and travel has taken me to nearly every island in the Caribbean, 40 U.S. states, and numerous countries across Europe and Central America.

As a certified instructor with a degree in education, I am dedicated to sharing my expertise with others. My mission is to educate and coach aspiring entrepreneurs toward achieving their goals, particularly in the realm of franchise ownership
