My Story
What began as a vital personal quest led to quite a circuitous and meaningful professional journey. This included earning a doctorate in organization development & behavior, studying with Shamans internationally, learning cross-cultural approaches to health, and researching different alternative health modalities. These experiences provided invaluable lived experience and dynamic professional expertise.
Perhaps most important, however, is what I came to learn after all these years: the root of my issues was to be found in ADHD and executive functioning challenges that left me struggling. Those were the core issues that went unresolved. For years I failed to appreciate just how much these struggles created general anxiety, stress, and overwhelm in my daily life.
This realization inspired me to focus on helping others improve their executive function skills and learn other life essentials such as applied wellness, communication, emotional regulation, stress management, and relationship skills. My journey taught me that these tools, skills, and a growth mindset provide the foundations that we as individuals, families, and organizations need to flourish.
When I am not learning, teaching, or creating new ways to best uplift others, I love to spend my time walking in nature, growing crops in my garden, practicing classical guitar, and searching for the world’s best French fries. Most important, I am currently father-in-training and always finding ways to be a better partner, brother, and son.

What are your core values and beliefs?
I believe that love is the antidote to most of our current problems. Our world really needs more people to lead with sincere curiosity, compassion, and open mindedness. We must really value relationships of all kinds – those with ourselves, others, and the natural world – if we wish to reduce unnecessary sickness and suffering. For me, the basis of love and of healthy relationships are grounded in genuine acceptance, respect, integrity, and care.
At the same time, we live in a truly absurd, rapidly changing, and thus undeniably disorienting world. We are also only here for a very short time (YOLO!?). For these reasons, it is absolutely vital that we follow our bliss and embrace our authentic selves, as well as be sure to regularly find the humor in all of the chaos and crazy. This requires that, at all costs, we pursue our passions and have lots of fun along the way!
Who do you typically work with?
What is the overall goal of your work?
While I really hope to influence and impact each person differently, at the end of the day I want to help people experience love, freedom, and bliss. As Joseph Campbell said: “People say that what we’re all seeking is a meaning for life. I don’t think that’s what we’re really seeking. I think that what we’re seeking is an experience of being alive, so that our life experiences on the purely physical plane will have resonances with our own innermost being and reality, so that we actually feel the rapture of being alive.”
What does a typical coaching session “Look Like”?
They are all different! All coaching and consulting sessions are completely original and personalized, responding to the exact needs and desires of the client in real time. In every session, clients will experience my 5A approach: Acceptance, Advice, Awareness, Accountability, and Action! No matter what is going on in their life, they will always be provided with a strategically designed session that provides practical insights and opportunities for immediate application. Ideally, each session will offer clients the knowledge and action steps to make the desired changes in their mindset, behavior, and lifestyle.
