I've lived through a lot of the stuff I coach.

For most of my adult life, I've been trying to figure out the same thing most of my clients are: how do you perform at a high level across work, health, relationships, sport, and more without burning out or losing yourself?

I spent over 30 years as a designer and leader, building teams and navigating the kind of complexity and pressure that comes with big roles at major companies. I've co-founded businesses. I've sat on boards. I've made hard calls and had to live with them. I made mistakes and still think about them. As a leader, I coached and put people first to help them be the best versions of themselves.

At the same time, I was competing in endurance sports: marathons, adventure races, Ironman triathlons, seven-day mountain bike stage races. I became a professional triathlon coach for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Team-in-Training program. I found I enjoyed the coaching more than participating.

And I had a major health scare. The medical community had trouble diagnosing exactly what they thought I had. Rather than watching and waiting, my wife, family, and friends joined me in researching every possible angle. I became a professionally trained macrobiotic chef. I went gluten-free before most people knew what gluten was. By making major changes to my diet and lifestyle, I reversed the disease process. Through it all, I coached others on how to live a healthier lifestyle.

That's what I bring to coaching. Not a framework I learned in a weekend. A life of experiences I've actually lived and a passion for coaching and helping others that brings me joy.

I ask more questions than I give answers. I believe you already have most of what you need. The right questions just help you see it clearly.

I'm a deep listener. I notice patterns. I name things that are hard to name. And I hold space for the kind of honest conversation that's hard to have anywhere else.
