Since 2000, I’ve been working with individuals, organization and families to create meaningful, empowered environments where purpose, connection, and growth are not just possible, but inevitable.

My journey started in education, teaching across Canada, Japan, Italy, and Grenada. I learned firsthand that leadership isn’t about authority — it's about cultivating environments where people feel safe to grow, stretch, and lead themselves.

That lesson hit even harder when I became a father.
Leadership wasn’t just professional anymore — it became personal. It became urgent.

It’s what led me to write a book about parenting, emotional intelligence, and leadership — because the same principles that shape thriving children also build strong families, high-performing teams, and transformative organizations.

Today, I coach individuals and organizations who want more than surface success.

My clients want lives and cultures they’re proud of. They want depth, connection, real leadership, and the joy that comes from living and being fully alive.

They want to lead themselves and their people with more wisdom, more heart, and more impact. They’re willing to invest in what matters most — their own evolution and the cultures they create around them.

I know personally that no matter how smart or independent you are, you can't do your deepest growth alone.

The smartest thing I ever did was ask for help.
Coaching changed my life — and it continues to fuel my own growth today. I continue to get coached not because I have to, but because I love to learn and grow.

• I also raise a garden that includes veggies, kiwi, peach, fig, olives and berries.
