About me…

I’m a coach, mentor and thought partner to purpose-driven leaders, innovators and visionaries across the country. With over fifteen years of coaching under my belt, I have helped hundreds embrace who they are uniquely, to have a life that feels good, that feels natural, where you know deep down you are doing the work you're supposed to do in the world. What’s important to know is that I believe that understanding, knowing, and living from who we uniquely are is what sets us up for a life of our greatest purpose and fulfillment.

I’ve worked with leaders at companies like Levi Strauss, The Gap, Banana Republic and Stanford. I’ve worked with doctors, scientists, professors, architects, executive directors, lawyers, writers, photographers, musicians, small business owners, solopreneurs and even a museum designer and the owner of a movie special effects studio. 

The results of our work together can show up in many ways; Many of my clients stick with the same business, career or role but do it with more confidence, purpose and authenticity. Others make big changes and launch new businesses, start their own personal movements or do the thing they’ve always dreamed of but hadn’t yet gone for it because they didn’t have the confidence.

Some details about me…

I spent a decade as campaign director for a national non-profit advocacy group then another decade as a business analyst and web strategist for a multi-national telecom. Fifteen years ago I followed my passion, took what felt like a huge risk and quit my job in technology to launch my coaching business.

I’ve got a BA in Geography from Clark University. I did my Masters work in Organizational Development and Transformation at The California Institute of Integral Studies and I’m certified as a Professional Co-Active Coach by the Coaches Training Institute. I’m also an Impostor Syndrome Institute Licensed Associate and Certified Coach. I’ve been trained directly by Dr. Valerie Young, the world's leading authority on Impostor Syndrome and creator of Rethinking Impostor Syndrome

My wife and I live in the San Francisco Bay Area, have a yappy mutt and are getting used to having our daughter far away in Minnesota for college. In the past couple years I’ve become one of those annoying people that’s addicted to Pickleball and can’t stop talking about it.

A decade ago I finally admitted to myself that I see people’s unique abilities and impact that they can’t see themselves. They are your particular mix of gifts, genius and brilliance that creates the impact that only you have. I’ve spent the ten years developing programs where people consistently discover their unique mix of gifts and then align them with their deepest values to create a life, career or business that’s purposeful, highly impactful and fulfilling.

My clients all have one thing in common. They know that the key to their authentic, aligned impact is to better know themselves and discover what is uniquely theirs to bring to the world.

“Magic is believing in yourself. If you can do that, you can make anything happen.”

— Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
