A Little About Me...

I enjoy working with clients who are ready to move quickly and go deep. My style is very direct, cutting to the core of any issue and creating breakthroughs efficiently and easily. This applies to personal and business coaching.

My studies, training, and teaching background include: a Hotel Management degree (from New Zealand), a BA degree in Counseling. I am a Certified Enneagram personality patterns teacher, have been trained by Katie and Gay Hendricks in their Foundations and Conscious Loving courses, and have a background as a Creative Director. I have also led and facilitated brainstorming processes, group dynamics, and team development meetings.

As I have been serving my clients and using my creative gifts, I have branched out into whiteboard animations, e-learning, and design. This is why you might find my site such a “mixed bag”, rather than just one thing. In the service of others I have become a generalist of sorts.

I encourage my clients to "take the leap" into more of the life they desire, and I try to lead by example.

Originally from New Zealand, I set out on my dream to come to America when I was 30.

I found a university I wanted to go to, left my native country, and "took a leap" into the unknown! Four years later, I graduated with the degree I always dreamed of having.

I discovered an organization I once only dreamed I could work for, "took a leap," and ended up working there for 22 years.

I "took a leap" and navigated the perils of obtaining permanent residency amidst the events of 9/11 and succeeded.

I "took the leap" and discovered that you can find the love of your life at any age.

I currently live in Chicago, Illinois with my wife, Heather (the love of my life), our two daughters Elliana and Isabel, and our two cats: Finley & Thomas.
