I spent seven years as an Army artillery officer. I left in 2017. It was stable, structured and respected, and it wasn't mine to direct.

Then I did what seemed like the sensible thing. An MBA at the University of Washington at night while working full time. Starbucks supply chain, sales operations at MCG Health, data analytics consulting, I was good at it. I was being asked to stay. And I knew I was going to leave again.

Both times, the hard part wasn't the decision. It was the years before it, when I couldn't name what was wrong and everything looked fine, including to me.

I've worn a lot of hats: Husband, father, son, soldier, veteran, analyst, manager... Some I chose. Some I picked up without noticing and carried years past their usefulness. Working out which is which is most of what I do now, with clients and with myself.

I'm not coaching this from a book. I've done it, with a wife, a mortgage, a kid and no trust fund.

I live in Seattle with my wife Jill and our son Peter.

The rest of it…

Beyond coaching, I’ve lived and gone to school in England, run a few marathons, and swam in every ocean. I've played Warhammer 40,000 since 1999 and I am a sucker for strategy games. I like to ride my motorcycle when its not raining, and am re-learning to play the saxophone after 15yrs. Two St. Bernards, a cat and a tarantula live in my house.

I will talk to anyone about about consciousness, non-duality, physics and biology. I practice breathwork, meditation, and sauna.

I'm trained in mindfulness-based stress reduction, somatic inquiry, motivational interviewing, and acceptance and commitment therapy, plus integration practices including psychedelic integration for people already working with that.

I'm currently completing ICF PCC credentialing.
