Company Founder

Dennis Hough founded Affirm Consulting, and most recently My Business Coach, to realize his passion for helping entrepreneurs and businesses achieve their business goals. As a degreed industrial engineer and business process expert, Dennis has a diverse background in executive leadership, business start-up & ownership, production management, engineering, quality assurance and strategy development for diverse, multidisciplinary companies. His experience leading business operations and coaching companies through significant growth is the cornerstone of Affirm Consulting’s reputation as a strategic hands-on partner to small and mid-sized firms, and the proving ground for the resources, tools, and expertise offered by My Business Coach.

Known as a strategic thinker, knowledgeable coach and creative problem-solver, Dennis Hough is a valued partner to companies and entrepreneurs interested in fostering their business dreams and realizing their business growth potential.

“Business ownership can be the most rewarding, challenging and frustrating endeavor a person can embark on. Much like parenting, the more you do it and learn, the more you realize all the things you don’t know. If it takes a village to raise a child, then it only makes sense that it takes a whole team to successfully create, launch and grow a business. We hope you will join the My Business Coach community and let us be part of your team and walk this journey with you.”
Dennis E. Hough, Founder of My Business Coach
