About Me
I grew up in the suburbs of Chicago as a competitive athlete. When it came time for college, I didn't know what career to pursue. Result...I explored three majors over eight years, built a pile of debt and still didn't know what career would light me up.
I went into life insurance and financial planning. Three years later, I was bored and burning out. I was doing well, but I wasn't happy. And I was sick of working 50-hours a week.
At that point, I made a firm decision to finally find the type of work I would wake up excited to do every morning.
One week later, I met a coach and did a session. Afterwards, I looked him in the eye and said, “What you just did with me, I’m gonna do with others for the rest of my life.” I found my calling, started my coaching business and never looked back.
After realizing that I'm here to help people become more fulfilled and free, I became obsessed with personal, spiritual, professional and business development. And, I started to create the life I really wanted. And, it goes a little somethin' like this...
-
In 2006, I created a purpose-centered business doing what I love for a living. And I started to work less and create a more flexible, healthy and enjoyable lifestyle.
-
In 2013, I moved to Boulder, Colorado, which I dreamed about since I was young.
-
In 2014 I decided to conquer my pattern of having "pretty good" relationships and instead attract a truly fitting and fulfilling relationship. I applied the tools that worked for everything else and found her two weeks later. I'll forever cherish the 11 years that we were together.
-
In 2026 we transformed our relationship into a friendship. It was both painful and beautiful. We gave ourselves an A+ for our communication, care and grace throughout the transition.
-
I love my life. And, I'm grateful for knowing how to move through challenges and make my desires my reality.
Alright, enough about me. What's the change that YOU want in YOUR life?
