Hello! Almost 20 years ago, I packed up my truck and drove west from Texas because I wanted to learn how to surf. After traveling the world for five years, as a cruise line event coordinator, I fell in love with this beautiful city and never left. I transitioned from the cruise ships to trade shows and organized massive events while spending every spare moment in the water. I did the corporate thing for fifteen years, met my beautiful wife, and loved every minute of it. But I began to develop a desire for something more. I had a great career, yet was lacking fulfillment. I wanted to do something that made a difference. I followed that desire down the rabbit hole and went on a journey of self-discovery. Then I quit my job at the beginning of 2020 to build my own business and haven’t looked back. Today, I have the best job in the world, my wife by my side, a beautiful baby boy, another nugget on the way, and I still spend my spare time in the water. My stoke levels are at an all-time high and the fulfillment is flowing. I’m a coach. I help entrepreneurs and executives create that sense of fulfillment we’re all looking for. I help turn that fleeting sense of happiness we’ve experienced through “achievement” into a permanent daily experience. My client’s goals are the project and I’m the project manager who helps them reach the finish line. When I started on my journey, I was on my own. Then I started to learn about coaching and hired my own. Having someone there who was helping me along the way was a game changer and inspired me to do the same for others. My clients and I begin by breaking out of the mold they’ve been stuck in for so long. Whatever that pattern or routine looks like. Then we work together to reconnect with their joy, passion, and purpose. We minimize the things that drain them of energy and we add in the stuff that fills them with energy and those feelings of fulfillment. I’m a firm believer that there’s no separation between a person’s business life and their personal life and often the recipe for fulfillment lies in discovering their personal balance between the two. It’s been an incredible experience to build a business around helping others find their happiness and even though it’s been a few successful years, I feel like I’m just getting started. It really gets me stoked and I use that stoke to help my clients find theirs!
