My Back Story
Growing Up
& Finding My Path
When I was eleven, my dad passed away, leaving my mom to raise seven children. We felt his absence deeply, but my mother’s strength and unwavering support, along with the generosity of many mentors, shaped my belief in compassion, love, and the power of lifting others up.
I’ll admit: I was an undersized hockey player who barely scraped through college. But that experience fueled my determination to help people achieve more than they thought possible. After stints in sales, leadership, and even a Successories franchise, I discovered the world of executive coaching — and I knew it was my calling.
Why Coaching?
Since 2012, I’ve been privileged to guide clients through personal and professional breakthroughs, meeting remarkable individuals across executive leadership, golf, music, and beyond. Watching them transform under pressure is what inspires me to keep growing every day.
Coaching Philosophy
Leading, Playing, and Performing at Your Best
I believe true transformation starts with the inside game: the mindset, awareness, and resilience you bring to every challenge.
Whether you’re an executive under tight deadlines, a golfer facing high-pressure shots, or a musician stepping onto stage, how you think matters as much as what you do.
Awareness
Recognize the unproductive thought loops holding you back.
Presence
Stay grounded under stress, making decisions from a calm, clear perspective.
Possibility Thinking
Instead of seeing limits, see the potential for growth—even in adversity.
A Values-Driven Approach
Faith and family have taught me the power of love, compassion, kindness, and joy. When I’m at my best, I want to cultivate those same qualities in the people I work with — so they can realize their own potential today, tomorrow, and beyond.
