About Me

Success is within reach of every person when they possess a positive attitude, resilient outlook, intentional strategy & strong dose of common sense. My "Take risks. Make mistakes" program will take you on a journey to help you define what you want success to look like. Then, I will partner with you to turn your vision into reality.

I work with clients who want:
-Clarity on next step(s) on their career path
-Greater fulfillment & purpose (personally or professionally)
-More confidence so they can make a change or take a risk
-Stronger leadership skills
-Tools to manage stress & anxiety

Our work together may include:
-Focusing on beliefs, values, & goals
-Getting clear on what true happiness might look like
-Envisioning the future
-Exploring what is possible
-Examining internal obstacles (such as fear) to making changes or taking risks
-Designing a strategy to move forward

Our ultimate goal is to use this learning to develop an action plan for real change.

I left a 30-year corporate career to empower others to take new directions for deeper purpose & fulfillment. My background includes: global communications (Siemens); management consulting (Booz Allen & multiple US intelligence agencies); government policymaking (White House and Department of Defense); grassroots organizing (political campaigns); & higher education (RAND, University of Maryland). Throughout my career, I have provided my expertise directly to senior political & government leaders & corporate CEOs. To mix things up, I produced films that premiered at the Sundance Film Festival. I am a proud husband & dad to active-duty Marines and volunteer as a financial counselor to help junior military service members manage their finances. I am an avid scuba diver, mountain climber, adventure traveler. When possible, I go overseas to provide onsite support for causes such as wildlife conservation & refugee resettlement. I am a global coach, having lived & worked in many countries & cultures.
