Introduction: The central theme of my life has been the pursuit of diverse experiences
personally and professionally. I have been a sales engineer, a deck officer
on a surveying ship, a bed and breakfast owner, a founder of a non-profit,
a treehouse designer/builder and a father. This diverse background
enables me to effectively adapt my coaching style to a broad spectrum
of personality types, ages, careers, stages of growth, economic situations,
and goals to meet my clients with empathy, compassion and commitment.
I am trained as a CTI and 4 Gateways coach, And am certified through
CTA. I help people identify and achieve their personal goals by coping
with the issues that are causing them distress, anxiety, and stress. I take
great pride in the progress and success of my clients, and look forward to
helping you.
I am a skier, bike rider, hiker, woodworker, and bird watcher. I also like to
write poetry mostly as a form of journaling. Through many years of
gratifying and sometimes terrifying work, I have dealt with my own
childhood trauma and have found power, peace, forgiveness, and
acceptance. I am a better coach for having it in my past.
