For over 30 years, I've helped young men build the structure for success by overcoming distraction and dysfunction through advanced brain integration techniques, like Brainspotting.

I dedicated my career as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, now as a Certified Professional Coach, to leading my clients on the most direct path to success. I focus on proactive, results-driven strategies to help you live your vision.

My approach blends timeless wisdom with cutting-edge methods. I’ve studied psychology, philosophy, quantum physics and spirituality; alongside modern brain-based change technologies.

I've practiced various martial arts and hold a third degree blackbelt in Aikido, a Japanese martial art known as The Way of Peace. It's my good fortune to train with some of the best teachers in the world.

I've a passion for racing cars and own four sportscars. I help drivers hone their skills and gain time on the track through Brainspotting.

Otherwise you'll find me rucking with my dogs, trail running with my pals, playing ultimate with my team, or being with my amazing wife!

A Certified Professional Coach since 2001, I've a B.A. in Counseling Psychology, Webster University, '92; an M.A. in Integral Counseling Psychology, CIIS, '95, and was a CA LMFT '98-21.

After being a National Merit Scholar in high school, I failed my first year in college. I had no emotional support, structure, or guidance; so I put myself through drug treatment and recovery. I then went back to college for a semester of straight A's.

Raised in a family that offered no roadmap for meaning or purpose, I didn't know who I was or what I wanted to do. So, I dropped out of college and decided to rebuild my life. I committed to having freedom, success, and a great marriage.

I walked many paths: chef, photographer, interior designer, antique dealer and martial artist—then realized my true calling wasn’t creating art, but crafting my life as a masterpiece.

That began my journey of mastering my thoughts, emotions, and destiny. Now I help young men like you do the same.

I've been steeped in men's work for over 40 years, facilitated individual and group initiations, and led kick-ass men's teams.

I’m not here to focus on problems—I’m here to guide you to clarity, strength and purpose.

Feeling stuck or unsure of your path? I’ve been there and have helped countless young men be who they’re meant to be.

Let’s Create Your Life as a Work of Art!
