I Don’t Coach From Theory. I Coach From Experience.

There was a point in my life where everything I thought I was shattered before my eyes.

After serving multiple combat tours as an Explosive Ordnance Disposal technician in Iraq and Afghanistan, I came home carrying more than just the experiences of war. Like a lot of people, I found myself dealing with things I didn’t fully understand at the time. PTSD, loss of identity, and eventually addiction.

I had to face the reality that the way I was living wasn’t sustainable.

What followed wasn’t a clean or linear process. I had to rebuild my life more than once. Through failure, setbacks, and hard lessons, I started doing the deeper work of understanding who I was, what was driving my patterns, and what needed to change.

That process is what led me here.

Now I help others do the same

I love guiding people through their awakening.

I have a deep respect for the parts of people that are hard to talk about. The emotions that feel too heavy, too messy, or too overwhelming to share anywhere else. I care about creating a space where those things can actually be seen and worked through, not avoided.

A lot of this comes from my own experience. The pain I’ve been through forced me to face parts of myself I didn’t want to look at. Over time, that became something else. It gave me the ability to sit with others in those same places without trying to fix them or rush them out of it.

That’s the work I care about. Helping people navigate the depth of who they are, so they can move forward from a place that’s actually real.

Why this matters to me

I know what it feels like to lose your sense of direction. To question who you are and how you got there.

I also know what it takes to rebuild.

This work matters to me because I have lived it. Not once, but multiple times. And I have seen what is possible when someone is willing to be honest, take responsibility, and commit to the process.
