Drawing from my own experiences and lessons from life, occupational ministry, and the marketplace, I have a passion to help individuals hurdle the obstacles that rob them of the joy and passion of a life lived with purpose and a sense of destiny. My joy is to come along side of others to encourage and assist them toward discovering and developing their unique mission in life. I have traveled down a road of personal experience that has cultivated a heart, developed a perspective, and equipped me with tools and skills to help individuals make real and positive forward movement toward their destiny.
My coaching focus is life development and spiritual growth. I love working with motivated individuals who want to learn more about their call: discovering or clarifying a call, how to get moving on the calling journey, and what the calling timeline can reveal about the path ahead.
I also enjoy helping people move forward in any of the following areas:
I have served on staff of three churches in the capacities of College and Career Pastor, Young Couples Pastor, and Senior Associate. I have been a member of the management team for two residential development companies, and have ran my own construction company for ten years. My training in life coaching has been through Western Theological Seminary in Sacramento, CA. I serve as a coach for The Calling Journey, for Dreamvesting (a ministry of Bethel Church in Redding, CA) and, am working towards an Associate Coaching credential with International Coaching Federation (ICF).
I have two adult children, two teenage boys, and three grandchildren. I am married to a wonderful lady, Luanne. In my spare time I enjoy walking and hiking, golfing, building things, reading good books, writing, good conversations with friends, and just hanging out with my family. One of my, yet-to-be realized, dreams is to own a Victory motorcycle and go on some really cool road trips.
