My Story

I know the quiet nudge that whispers: there’s more waiting for you. I’ve felt it myself.

I’ve made big pivots: in my career, in my relationships, in where and how I live, even in my understanding of myself. Experiments that helped me co-create a life with my husband that’s intentionally joyful, adventurous, and rich in purpose. 

What I learned is simple: transformation isn’t about forcing change. It’s about trusting who you are long enough for what’s next to come into focus. When I went looking for that kind of guidance, I rarely found spaces made for gay and queer men.

That’s why I’m here — to walk with you as you slow the noise, honor who you are, and move toward what’s emerging with curiosity, courage, and joy.

My Credentials

I’m a PCC-certified coach through the International Coaching Federation, trained in executive coaching at Georgetown’s Institute for Transformational Leadership, with degrees from the University of Chicago and DePaul University.

Before coaching, I spent two decades in leadership helping organizations navigate change and complexity. I’ve coached hundreds of clients and partnered with leaders worldwide as Co-Creator of Social Identity Coaching Lab.

Credentials matter. But what makes me a great coach is deep listening, joyful courage, and a steady commitment to making sure you feel seen, heard, and understood.
