About Me

I didn't leave corporate. I grew out of it.

I spent years building a career I was proud of — starting fresh out of college at one of the largest privately held companies in the country, earning my way up through retail operations, becoming top 5% in B2B sales nationwide, and eventually leading field and executive teams across the organization.

I was good at it. And somewhere along the way, the work I found most meaningful wasn't the P&L or the strategic priorities. It was the leaders I was being pulled in to coach — people and teams that didn't even report to me — because someone believed a real conversation might help.

Then came the moment that changed everything.

I found myself working for a senior executive I couldn't trust, inside an organization making decisions that went against my core values. Rather than push through and pretend it wasn't happening, I did what I now ask of every client: I got a coach.

That relationship gave me something I hadn't had in years — clarity. And in that clarity, I saw something I'd been living without fully naming: investing in other people's success wasn't a byproduct of my career. It was my career. It always had been.

Achieve Excellence was the next natural step.

How I Show Up

I’m not a prescriptive coach. I won’t hand you a framework and tell you to follow it. What I will do is ask you the questions you haven’t had space to sit with, challenge you when you need it, and stay in your corner unconditionally — without agenda, without politics, and without judgment. I work with CEOs, senior executives, and nonprofit leaders who are navigating high-stakes decisions, leading through complexity, and figuring out what kind of leader they want to become. Some come with a specific challenge. Some come because something feels off and they can’t quite name it yet. Some come because they’ve never had a truly trusted advisor and they’re finally ready for one.

Outside the work, I’m a husband and dad — roles that shape how I think about leadership more than anything else. I grew up playing soccer and still play today; futsal (think indoor soccer on a smaller pitch, faster pace) is one of my favorite ways to compete and cultivate energy. I’ve completed two half Ironman triathlons — not because I’m chasing podiums, but because committing to hard things keeps me focused. I spend a lot of time outdoors, enjoy hiking, and believe the best thinking rarely happens at a desk. I live and work in Lake Oswego, Oregon, and work with leaders nationwide.
