From the time I was five years old, I was fascinated with spiritual leadership. As kids, we played church in the neighborhood. Moving around a lot exposed me to many faces and places, which stoked my fire for creativity, possibility and the adventure of working in God's Kingdom. As a young adult I was hungry to see the world and figure out how I could make a dent in it for good. When I married my beautiful wife, Melissa, we were serving and leading high school students, then married couples, then eventually a whole church, and now a network of churches. I know what it's like to go through the ups and downs, the big thrills and the big disappointments. Sometimes it can seem like the most successful leaders have everything handed to them on a silver platter. That has never been our experience!
Through those highs and lows, I discovered there is a proven way to lead with clarity, confidence, and joy—habits and strategies that create lasting fruit and fulfillment. That’s exactly what I bring to my coaching: a blend of pastoral insight, real-world experience, and Brendon Burchard’s high-performance principles to help you break through plateaus and step into your true potential.
I’m grateful our paths have crossed. I can’t wait to connect, learn about your dreams, and work together to help you lead at the highest level and move into your season of impact and fulfillment.
