Life Coaching
Life coaching is practical, forward-looking support to help you get unstuck, get clear, and follow through. Whether you are navigating a career change, rebuilding momentum after a setback, or trying to bring structure to a goal you care about, coaching gives you a calm place to think, plan, and take action.
I work with people who are capable and motivated, but overwhelmed by complexity, uncertainty, or too many competing priorities. Our focus is not therapy or rehashing the past. It is identifying what matters now, choosing a direction, and creating a realistic plan you can execute.
What I help with
- Clarifying goals and priorities when everything feels urgent
- Building routines and habits that actually stick
- Accountability and follow-through (without guilt or pressure)
- Confidence, decision-making, and communication
- Creating structure for big projects, side businesses, or personal changes
- Breaking cycles of procrastination and perfectionism
- Resetting after burnout and building a sustainable pace
How coaching works
Most people do not need more information - they need a system. Coaching combines conversation, planning, and accountability.
- Discovery: We define what you want, what is blocking you, and what success looks like in plain language.
- Strategy: We create a simple plan with milestones, deadlines, and next actions.
- Execution: Each session is focused on progress: what worked, what did not, and what we are doing next.
- Support: Between sessions, you can have lightweight check-ins if that helps you stay on track.
What you can expect
- A structured, non-judgmental conversation
- Practical tools and next steps you can use immediately
- Clear milestones and accountability
- A coach who will listen carefully and also tell you the truth when you need it
- A plan that fits your real life (time, energy, responsibilities)
Who this is for
- Those feeling stuck or scattered.
- Have goals or ideas but cannot turn it into a consistent plan or execution.
- Need accountability and someone to help them think clearly, make a plan report back to.
- Want to make changes without loosing current stability.
Formats
- 1:1 sessions (in person or remote)
- Short-term coaching for a specific goal (4-8 sessions)
- Ongoing coaching for steady progress (monthly or biweekly)

About Me
I have always been a man of many endeavors - and I have a track record of setting goals and following through.
My drive started early. By the fourth grade, I had wired my backyard with lights and switches without adult supervision. From there I never stopped learning and building. I created haunted houses, installed sprinkler systems professionally before the age of 16 (I even hired older friends to drive and work with me), and ran side hustles through my teen years - from computer repair and DJing school dances with my own equipment to scooping ice cream at a local shop and working at Macy's.
When I turned 18, a high school program helped me land a summer job at Apple Computer. I stayed for 18 months and became the lead for statistical reporting across multiple production lines.
After that, I spent two years on a volunteer church mission at my own expense. That experience taught me legal document writing, leasing and travel coordination, and - more importantly - the reality of hardship, interpersonal relationships, and difficult conversations.
Life also taught me through loss. As a teenager, I watched my grandmother (who lived with us) pass away. I buried my mother at 24, and my father a decade later.
In my early 20s, I married and began raising a family. And like most families, ours came with real challenges: miscarriages, the stress of shifting from employment to self-employment, building multiple businesses, and learning the hard lessons that come with working hard, failing, bankruptcy, conflict, and divorce. I learned to live independently, raised four kids to adulthood, and eventually became an empty nester living on my own.
All of it has shaped how I see life: hardship is real, but growth is possible. You can move forward, rebuild, and succeed - even after setbacks.
If you are dealing with challenges around loss, marriage, family, business, failure, loneliness, dating, independence, or simply feeling stuck, I can help you sort through what is in front of you, create a plan, and take the next steps with confidence.
