I know what it feels like to be swept up in the overwhelming responsibilities of life—work, kids, church—constantly trying to do my best, yet feeling like the more I focused on one area, the more everything else suffered. At one point, the different parts of my life felt like they were in competition rather than working together. That tension led me on a journey to discover how to build a well-rounded, integrated life—one where faith, family, career, and personal growth complement each other rather than pull me in different directions.

Now, I help others do the same. I work with individuals—especially those in the second half of life—who want to make the most of their time, talents, and opportunities. Together, we identify the core habits, routines, and inputs needed to create sustainable progress in every area of life. My coaching is about more than just setting goals—it’s about shifting from a fixed mindset to a growth mindset, learning resilience, and aligning life’s work with a deeper sense of purpose.

For those seeking faith-based guidance, I help integrate biblical principles and a God-centered vision into their journey. My mission is to help people not just succeed in work, but thrive in life—to make the second half of life the most fulfilling, impactful season yet.

Who I Am

I’m a follower of Jesus, a family man blessed with a wonderful wife and four lively kids, and a lifelong learner who loves the rhythms of four-season living in the Pacific Northwest. An avid runner and fitness enthusiast, I believe in the power of discipline, growth, and resilience—both physically and in life. My career has spanned nearly three decades, with extensive experience in youth ministry, financial services—from education and advising to the C-suite—and coaching in life and leadership. Through it all, my passion has remained the same: helping people align their work, faith, and purpose to create a meaningful, well-rounded life.
