The Man Behind

Everything is a choice.

How you spend your time.
How you show up in your marriage.
How present you are with your kids.
How much money you make.
How much peace you feel.
None of it happens by accident.

Too many people are passengers in their own journey—drifting along, following a default path without fully considering what they truly want, what’s possible, or which “rules” they’ve accepted that they don’t have to live by.

I didn’t start here.

Growing up, I loved sports—though athleticism didn’t love me back. I wasn’t the star player, but I could see the bigger picture: how to bring the best out of a team, how to win with what we had. That mindset led me to coaching, including a graduate assistant role with Cleveland State Men’s Basketball.

I thought my life would stay in athletics, but I realized I wanted more balance and impact beyond the court. That led me to the YMCA, where by 26, I became one of the youngest executive leaders in the country. I loved building culture and driving results.

Then COVID changed everything. I realized I’d built a successful career without a backup plan, without financial flexibility, without time flexibility—and without the personal growth I encouraged in others. Essentially, I was a passenger in my own journey.

So in 2022, I started stepping out on my own and charted a path that was fully realized in late 2024.

In 2024, my wife Jenna, our son Cooper, and our Golden Retriever Champ moved to Richmond, Virginia, to be closer to family. Jenna took a leadership role in the nonprofit sector, and I went all-in on coaching, consulting, and building a business that reflects my values.

I’m an avid runner, lifter, golfer, and traveler. My work is about helping ambitious professionals take the driver’s seat, design a life that works for them, and lead with purpose, clarity, and intention.
