About Me

Hi, I’m Andrew. Coaching transformed my life as a teen, helping me build the resilience to thrive in engineering school and achieve my college goals.

Now, as an ICF-certified coach, Mechanical Engineer, and Adventure Enthusiast, I guide young men through challenges like staying motivated, developing self-esteem, and navigating the college application process.

During my adolescence, I encountered challenges that neither therapy nor mentors could resolve. It was then that I discovered the transformative power of academic life coaching. From the very first session, I was filled with excitement and motivation. This profound experience during my teenage years inspired me to become an academic life coach myself.

I completed high school with the grades I aimed for and went on to excel in mechanical engineering at Gonzaga University. Throughout college and afterwards, I worked with adolescents across the United States for 4 years, mentored by Hayden Lee. Although I ventured into the aerospace industry as an engineer for 4 years, my true calling in coaching drew me back.

Beyond my professional life, I am a passionate mountaineer and an enthusiastic big wall climber. I also craft my own surfboards and teach yoga. Coaching didn’t just change my life; it redefined it. I am deeply committed to helping others experience the same transformative journey that I did.
