A little about me
Entrepreneur. Leader. Mentor. Coach. Writer.
I’ve sat in the rooms where high-stakes decisions are made. I know the weight of navigating private equity transactions, steering complex mergers, and building an organization from the ground up.
As a founder, I built a startup healthcare practice and scaled it into a national brand generating more than $200 million in revenue.
But if you were to ask me what shaped me most, it wasn't the revenue or the accolades. It was the hard lessons. The mistakes. The moments that forced me to realize that business strategies and perfect systems mean nothing without human context.
My clients have built incredible businesses and successfully led organizations through complex challenges—all without leaving their families to pay the price. Whether you are at the very beginning of your entrepreneurial career or an executive navigating massive corporate transitions, I bring lived experience to walk alongside you.
The Space Between Knowing and Becoming
My background in healthcare and neuroscience taught me to appreciate the remarkable capacity of the human brain and body to adapt and how we often hide from our very own eyes. My work with people who are hard-chargers and willing to “do the work” taught me that knowledge alone is never enough.
You can know what you should do and still struggle to do it.
You can understand your patterns and still repeat them.
You can know what matters and still find yourself living for someone else's version of success.
There is a profound space between knowing and becoming. That is where life actually happens. It is where our habits, relationships, and fears meet. And if we are willing to look closer, it is where our deepest spiritual questions begin to emerge:
What actually matters?
Who am I becoming?
What am I being invited to create with the life I've been given?
I don’t believe these questions require rigid, fast answers. I believe they require honesty, radical curiosity, and enough intentional space to listen to your deeper purpose.
My Approach: Why I Coach
I believe people are far more capable than they allow themselves to see. Sometimes, you simply cannot map the path from where you are currently standing.
Coaching is an invitation to slow down. My role is not to fix you, hand you a generic formula, or tell you how to repeat my past success.
Instead, I weave together data-backed neuroscience, hard-earned business acumen, and a deep respect for human soul and purpose. Together, we will look honestly at what is happening, question old assumptions, break repetitive patterns, and discover your authentic next step.

A LIFE BEYOND WORK
I'm a husband, father, musician, writer, and lifelong student of people.
When I'm not coaching or working, you'll often find me competing with my six kids in soccer, four-square, or one of the many games our family has invented.
I'm a weekend musician and a novice writer.
I love being in creation. The landscape pictures on my website are from my camera.
I enjoy gathering people around a table—or in my backyard—for conversations that can move from Texas barbecue to leadership, relationships, contemplative philosophy, and the mysteries of being human.
Those conversations remind me of something I never want to lose in my professional life:
People are not problems to be solved.
They are stories still being written.
