I grew up in a small town in West Texas and joined the Navy straight out of high school, trading open fields for open seas. Over the past 28 years, I’ve served with pride, purpose, and perseverance—but it was through helping others grow that I discovered my true passion: coaching.
Throughout my Navy career, I leaned heavily on mentors, advisors, and spiritual leaders to navigate life’s challenges—especially the lifelong struggle of undiagnosed ADHD. Their guidance helped me break through, and in time, I found myself becoming that support for others. I developed coach-like skills to help those who felt stuck, unsure, or simply ready to dig deeper and push toward their full potential.
I’ve received coaching training through Navy leadership programs and Columbia University, and I’m currently completing a professional coaching program aligned with ICF certification standards. These tools sharpen what I’ve already been doing informally for years—listening deeply, asking powerful questions, and holding space for real growth.
Now, as I prepare to retire from active duty, I’m launching a full-time coaching practice. This is more than a career shift—it’s a continuation of my calling to serve. I know firsthand how transformational coaching can be. If I’d had a coach all those years ago, I would’ve gotten further, faster. My mission now is to offer that same clarity, challenge, and care to others on their own leadership and life journey.
