My personal biography/journey…

I was born in Denver, CO, where I currently live with my wife, Heather. We enjoy much of what the state offers, including camping, hiking, enjoying a night out with friends, and going to Red Rocks for a show. I graduated from George Washington high school, where I played basketball and earned a scholarship to play at the collegiate level.

I am grateful for the many transferable life and leadership skills my athletic background has provided, such as (not limited to) teamwork, working towards a common goal, learning how to work effectively with others, and unleashing and maximizing each individual's unique potential.

I come from a blended and bi-racial family and am fascinated with the self-view, worldview, and unique stories of others!

My professional/coaching journey…

I have 15+ years of coaching, leadership, and non-profit experience. While working on a Master's in Communication and Leadership, one of my assignments was to find a leadership-based podcast and write a paper connecting the content to the theories I was studying. I came across a podcast called The Look and Sound of Leadership, where the host, an executive coach, narrated his conversations with his clients. The more I listened and engaged with the podcast, the more I realized that coaching was a calling.

The next step in the journey was to hire a coach. I was fortunate to connect with an incredible coach I still work with today. I am grateful for the opportunity to enrich lives through coaching, and I would likely not be where I am today without the power of a coaching partnership!
