About me…
I’m a coach, mentor, workshop leader, speaker and thought partner to purpose-driven leaders, innovators, and visionaries across the country. With over 17 years of coaching experience, I’ve helped hundreds of people embrace who they truly are—so they can build lives and careers that feel natural, meaningful, and deeply fulfilling.
At the core of my work is a simple but powerful belief: when you understand and live from your unique strengths, gifts, and genius, you unlock your greatest potential. A decade ago, I finally admitted to myself that I have an ability most people don’t—I see the unique brilliance in others before they see it in themselves. Over the past 10 years, I’ve developed programs that help people discover their unique blend of talents and align them with their deepest values. The result? Purposeful, impactful, and fulfilling lives, careers, and businesses. My clients all share one thing in common: they know that real success starts with
I’ve worked with leaders at companies like Levi Strauss, The Gap, Banana Republic, and Stanford, as well as doctors, scientists, professors, executive directors, lawyers, artists, entrepreneurs, and even a museum designer and the owner of a special effects studio.
The Impact of Our Work
The transformations I help facilitate take many forms. Some clients stay in their current roles but experience a profound shift—leading with greater confidence, authenticity, and purpose. Others make bold moves, launching new businesses, starting movements, or finally pursuing the dream they’ve been putting off for years. Whatever the outcome, the common thread is this: they stop holding back and start living in alignment with who they truly are.
My Background
Before launching my coaching business 17 years ago, I spent a decade as a campaign director for a national nonprofit advocacy group and another decade as a business analyst and web strategist for a multinational telecom company. Taking the leap into coaching was a huge risk at the time, but I knew I had to follow my passion—and I’ve never looked back.
I hold a B.A. in Geography from Clark University and did my master’s work in Organizational Development and Transformation at the California Institute of Integral Studies. I’m a Certified Professional Co-Active Coach (CPCC), an Emotional Resolution practitioner, and an Impostor Syndrome Institute Licensed Associate and Certified Coach. I was personally trained by Dr. Valerie Young, the world’s leading authority on Impostor Syndrome and creator of Rethinking Impostor Syndrome™.
A Bit More About Me
I live in the San Francisco Bay Area with my wife and our yappy (but lovable) mutt. We’re adjusting to the empty-nest life now that our daughter is off at college in Minnesota. And in case you’re wondering—I’m one of those people who’s completely obsessed with Pickleball. Consider yourself warned.
