Gallup® Trained BP10™ Coach

About the coach.

I serve clients across the US from Chandler (Phoenix), Arizona.

Coaching, mentoring, and helping individuals and teams are natural to me. To help others, I need to use an objective tool, and my tool of choice is CliftonStrengths (StrengthsFinder).

I was introduced to Strengths as a team-building event, and I was hooked. It gave me a very up-close look at who I was at my core.

During Gallup’s coaching certification class, I understood this was ‘my calling’. I believed in it so much that I stepped away from an 18-year career in economic development.

I now have the honor of helping others find their best self, and organizations move forward more effectively through group training and one-on-one coaching.

Looking back on my personal and professional life, I see how my Top 10 talents of Connectedness, Positivity, Adaptability, Belief, Woo, Communication, Input, Arranger, Includer, and Developer have always been there. And there have been times when they’ve gotten in my way.

In addition to my role as a coach & consultant, I’m a husband, father, grandfather, Realtor®, and genealogy geek. I strive daily to be a responsible leader.

Whether working in real estate, economic development, radio news, or simply serving others, people have always been the reason behind my work, and they remain my passion.

Beyond work, I spent over twelve years in church leadership roles, led teams, and served on numerous non-profit boards.

If you can’t tell, I love what I do. But enough about me, let’s talk about you!

My Coaching Promise

Coaching is a space for honest reflection and open conversation. I approach this work as a calling and a responsibility, and I take your trust seriously.

What you choose to share with me — in a one-on-one setting or outside of a group session — will be held in strict confidence.

My role is to listen carefully, respect your story, and create a space where you can speak freely without fear of judgment.

“What will happen when we think about what is right with people rather than fixating on what is wrong with them?”
