About This coach

I didn't set out to become a parenting coach. I set out to be a better parent. What I discovered along the way changed everything — for my family, and eventually for the families I now have the privilege of working with.

I've been a coach and educator for nearly 30 years. The last nine have been devoted entirely to parents: moms and dads who love their kids deeply, who are doing a lot of things right, and who still sense that something more is possible – in how they connect, how they lead their homes, and how they feel about themselves in the role.

I believe the parent is the intervention. Not the technique, not the script – the person doing the parenting. Which means this work is always about you first: who you're being, what you're carrying, and what becomes possible when you put that down.

The families I've worked with didn't transform because they followed a formula. They transformed because one person – often a mom, often exhausted, always capable of more than she knew – decided to go first.

Away from the work, I'm an avid reader, a lifelong baseball fan, a car guy, married to my best friend, and a father of three whose dad cab game is super strong.

What Makes THEM Special?

The lived part matters here.

I've parented children who lost their mother when they were very young. I've navigated the real complexity of a blended family: supporting my wife in her role as a stepmother and doing my own time as a stepdad. I've raised a child with special needs. I know what it is to hold a family together when the ground keeps shifting.



None of that makes me a better coach because I suffered. It makes me a better coach because I came through it with my eyes open, and I know what it feels like to sit where my clients sit.

I'm also a trauma-informed family development professional with a background in psychology and certification as an ADHD parent coach. That foundation shapes how I work: always looking underneath behavior, always asking what a person is carrying, always keeping the focus on the relationship.

What I've found after nearly 30 years in coaching and education is that people don't transform because they were given the right tools. They transform because someone finally helped them feel seen clearly enough to believe change was possible. That's what I'm here to do.
