Why Do I Coach?

I started coaching because it was being asked of me. As soon as I got certified and began coaching professionally, I saw profound changes occur in my clients. Our sessions were effectively clearing the weeds in their mind and they began planting the seeds they wanted. With time, those things paid dividends! My clients switched careers, changed their relationship dynamic, implemented new policies in their organizations/businesses, and reinvigorated their lust for life. I coach because time and again over the last five years, I get to bear witness to powerful shifts in people’s lives. It is an honor to play this role.  

My educational background begins with a BA in Environmental Studies from the University of Delaware accompanied by minors in Organizational & Community Leadership and Spanish Studies. In university, I gained a passion for education and mentorship through various internship opportunities including outdoor education and time as a professional “funster”. After university, I took advantage of opportunities to live abroad in both Mexico and Taiwan where I started various businesses and started different projects focused on education, social justice, and climate change.

Today, I am living in Taipei, TW continuing to invest in the lifestyle of my (and my wife’s) design for both of us and our son. I enjoy spending time reading science fiction, discovering new music, wrestling with my son, and baking indulgent treats.

"To those who’ve survived: Breathe. That’s it. Once more. Good. You’re good. Even if you’re not, you’re alive. That is a victory."
