“Kim Fauskee is the consummate professional. His level of knowledge in business is only surpassed by his love for people and assisting in their success. His passion for what he does and his way of looking at life, business and sport make him a perfect fit for any athlete looking not only for success now, but success for the future.

I’ve had the incredible privilege of getting to know Kim on a personal level and there just aren’t many people like him out there. I know, with 100% certainty, that my life has been enriched both on and off the field due to my relationship with Kim.”

“By chance I crossed paths with Kim Fauskee. Neither of us knowing each other’s backgrounds, we struck up a comfortable conversation. When Kim asked what I did, somewhat embarrassed I shared with him I am in a sales role, and that I had yet to feel proud of my new title after representing our country in 3 Olympic games.Kim quickly gathered that I was not thrilled about the direction my new career was going. Being incredibly approachable, Kim squashed any intimidation that came along with the question, “so, then what?”

Kim Fauskee is the support you want on your team to problem solve, strategize, and confidently take steps in the right direction for you!”

“Seeking assistance as an entrepreneur can be difficult. With the varied options and multitude of categories it can be hard to pin down exactly what you need and you may find yourself stuck not even knowing where to start. Kim Fauskee is the go-to man on where you need to start if you are seeking any form of assistance in the business world. His seasoned knowledge on varied subject matters came in handy when I decided that I needed to change directions for my business and he helped create focus and direction, where I had none before. Hiw strategies, guidance and counsel are based on genuine life experiences and he has a profound database of knowledge on an endless array of personal and business matters. It is without reservation and with the most sincere sense of gratitude that I highly recommend Kim Fauskee and his professional line of services.”

“I place a lot of value in mentorship. Hence, I’ve worked with a lot of consultants during my ten year career as a small business owner. Of them all, I find Kim Fauskee to have the most well rounded approach to personal development. He understands that helping people find the meaning and purpose behind what they do is the most important piece. When we got to the point of understanding that, the rest came together with utmost clarity. Kim helps me navigate the waters of interpersonal relationships; both professionally and personally. He’s enthusiastic and positive at times that I really need a pick-me-up. My business and livelihood would not be on the positive path it’s on now without him.”

“I’ve known Kim since I was a student athlete at the University of Notre Dame. Kim has been a constant confidant, mentor and educator. He has provided me business and life guidance during my playing career while developing a game plan for my post football life. I appreciate and value Kim’s involvement and friendship, but most importantly, knowing he has my back.”

“After completing my MBA, I was struggling with the realities and frustrations of trying to find an opportunity with an employer that would accentuate my strengths while providing me an opportunity to grow and advance in my career. I was lucky enough to be referred to Kim and he immediately put me at ease with his knowledge and demeanor. While working with Kim, I was able to re-frame my thought process, learn practical and purposeful business acumen not taught to me in grad school, and gain the confidence I needed to land a dream opportunity I was looking for within six weeks of our initial meeting. I’m not only happy to call him a mentor, but a friend as well. I cannot recommend Kim enough for anyone seeking a new direction, a new perspective, or a new charge professionally or personally.”

“I have met many advisors who just didn’t “get” what I was needing. I was burned out from all of the “advice” given and felt I really didn’t want to waste anymore time bringing the advisors up to speed. Then I met with Kim Fauskee! Working with Kim has been beneficial to my company by helping me understand the bigger picture, and how I can bring Funky Pet Zones to the next level. He was professional, engaged, and really listened to my concerns. I appreciated his fresh perspective, straightforward yet thoughtful assessments, and tactical plan for moving ahead. It really felt like he just “got” what I needed, and did’t waste my time! I highly recommend Kim to any business ready for action!”

“Kim stepped in to help my company, RISE Athletes, when we needed it the most and he did so without hesitation. We were hosting an event in Santa Barbara, and he assisted with everything from outreach, apparel creation, feedback, news station setup, and day-of assistance. Wow, is all I have to say. He did so with an open heart and an eager mind. He was fantastic, consistent, and strategic. We felt supported in the development of this event and I wish we could have Kim help us all over the nation, that is for sure!

I recommend Kim to anyone looking for someone that is intuitive, outgoing, wise, strategic, and goal-oriented. He is one of a kind special.”

“I’ve known Kim for over a year now. His knowledge of business, sport and life has broadened my perspective as I navigate life and sport as a D1 Collegiate Athlete. Kim is a trusted, objective, mentor and advisor that has my best interests in mind. His style is not to preach or tell me what I should do, but to pose questions that allow me to make the best-informed decision for myself. This has not only helped me grow as an athlete, but also in life outside of sport. I’m happy to have Kim as part of my inner circle.”
