Coach Kirby

Entrepreneurial leader and speaker.

Welcome!

I lead Liberty Classical Schools, a growing network of K12 American classical charter schools.

And I help entrepreneurs build mission-driven organizations that matter.

If I could help your team or talk to your group, please connect with me below.

About

I’m a husband and father, nonprofit founder and business builder, former high school football coach, and advocate for American classical education.

I graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy, served in the U.S. Navy as a Surface Warfare Officer, studied at Emory’s Goizueta Business School, and have invested 25 years building real estate and franchised restaurant businesses. With friends, I organized a nonprofit called Sixty Feet that supports children in Uganda. And I presently lead Liberty Classical Schools, an Atlanta-based network of American classical charter schools.

I'm grounded in faith, family, community, and patriotism.

I believe purpose-driven leadership - strong on mission, conviction, and impact - is the key to restoring our institutions, enriching communities, and strengthening our nation.

Talks

Do you have a group to inform, inspire, or entertain? Coach Kirby can help.

It would be an honor to share one of the following talks with your school, leadership team, or civic group:

Talk 1: How to Fill your Life with Happiness, Meaning, and Purpose.

Talk 2: American Classical Education: Why it’s good for kids, good for communities, and good for the nation.

Talk 3: Somebody Lied to our Teens: Uncover the Lies and Make the Most of your Youth.

I’d be delighted to talk to your school, leadership team, or civic group.
