Unlock Your Best Thinking. Maximize Your Impact. Create More Value In Every Moment.
Connecting the Dots Between Athletics, Leadership, and Coaching
From the basketball court to the boardroom, success and failure taught the same lesson – being fully present in the moment is the game-changer. Phil Jackson’s philosophy of “oneness” resonated deeply, reinforcing that the best performance happens when the ego takes a backseat to self and situational awareness. Whether in sports, relationships, or leadership, the moments that went well were the ones where I was clear, grounded, and intentional. The ones that didn’t? That’s when I let distractions, pressure, or self-doubt take over.
Nearly a decade into my corporate career, I pursued a Master’s in Communication and Leadership, where I discovered the power of coaching – not as a luxury, but as a key tool for high performers. That led me to hiring a coach, who introduced me to Valuegenic Self-Leadership Development. The reflection that followed was undeniable. The times I thrived? I was in my A-Game. The times I struggled? B-Game thinking had taken over. That realization changed everything. If bringing my best thinking into the moments that matter creates more impact, clarity, and fulfillment, then helping others do the same became a mission worth committing to.

A Thoughtfully Designed Approach
Listening is at the heart of my coaching approach. Not just hearing words, but truly understanding what’s behind them. Because self-leadership isn’t just about making better choices – it’s about creating clarity in how we think, feel, and show up in the world.
Over the years, I’ve found that my approach is rooted in three things:
- Curiosity – The second we become certain about something, we stop learning. I create space for reflection, challenging assumptions, and unlocking new perspectives that shift how you see yourself and your path forward.
- Compassion – Growth requires trust – both in yourself and the process. My role is to guide with empathy, creating a space where you can challenge yourself and grow without judgment.
- Consciousness – Real change happens in the moments that matter most. I’m in tune with these moments and am committed to the co-creative process we build together.
Our partnership is designed to help you tune into your own wisdom, rewire limiting patterns, and develop a way of thinking that serves you in any challenge, transition, or opportunity.
Inspired by thought leaders like Phil Jackson, Michael Singer, Dr. Robert S. Hartman, and Don Miguel Ruiz, this approach blends deep presence and listening, cognitive science, timeless wisdom, and practical application – ensuring that the shifts you make aren’t just temporary but transformational.
Personal Mission
My mission is to awaken and nurture the innermost value and goodness in myself and others. Whether I’m coaching leaders, developing tools for personal growth, or mentoring younger generations, I’m committed to helping people tap into their highest potential and live a life of value and purpose.
Practicing What I Teach
Born and raised in Denver, CO, I share life with my incredible wife, Heather, who keeps me both grounded and inspired. Our unique styles have been one of my greatest teachers, showing me that listening, mutual respect, and understanding aren’t just ideals. They’re daily practices. The same applies to self-leadership. This work isn’t just something I guide others through. It’s how I live every day.
When I’m not coaching, training, or facilitating, you’ll find me:
- 🎙 Co-hosting The Practicing Peoples Podcast
- 🎧 Curating uplifting vibes as DJ Nurture
- 📖 Reading, deepening my Kriya Yoga practice, or learning something new
- ⛳️ Humbly chasing excellence on the golf course
- 👥 Mentoring young leaders through Brother to Brother and Colorado University leadership development programs
At its core, the work I’ve committed to is more than personal growth. It’s about creating spaces where people feel heard, valued, and empowered to bring their A-game to every moment.
So, let’s bring your A-Game to life, love, and leadership. Get started today!
