I seek life through two Greek words;
Arete and eudaemonia.
​
Arete is seeking one's potential in character, excellence and virtue.
​
Eudaemonia is seeking well-being; or "human flourishing."
​
Over the course of my own journey; I have found six pillars that help me; D.R.E.A.M.S.
​
Diet. Pursuit of nutrition.
Relationships. Pursuit of connection.
Exercise. Pursuit of strength and agility.
Academics. Pursuit of knowledge. "philomath"
Mindfulness. Pursuit of awareness.
Sleep. Pursuit of rest and recovery.
I've spent the last 20 years motivating myself to hit my own goals. From being a member of a national championship water polo team, to the US Navy SEALs, to D1 collegiate sport, spending 8 years as a firefighter; and now being a dad.
​
Now I help people hit their own goals in life. Help them gain back their self-efficacy and their well-being. How to use the power of the mind, brain, and body to work through the subconscious fears that are holding them back.
​
I put actions to my words. My resume and testimonials are here to build trust with strangers.
​​​
Finding motivation to live healthier and happier is a scary step most people mask with a vice.
​​
I can tell you from experience; I struggled the most when I didn't have goals that I truly believed in. I had a constant state of anxiety; procrastinating and not taking any steps forward (a vicious cycle).
​
It doesn't matter what age you are.
​
These experiences have given me practical and sustainable ways of helping others to implement healthy habits and meaning in their own lives. Helping people with their own self-development, stress-management, and moving forward on their goals.
My life of teams has given me an opportunity that you won't find in another coach. It doesn't matter how many online life coaching courses they have taken.
​
I bring those concepts I've learned to the families, people, and teams I work with. The line between self-development and team-development is thin. They actually go hand-in-hand.
​
Whether you want to seek better well-being, help your child seek well-being, or your team;
​
Reach out and let's see what we can do.
​
To be clear:
​
I AM NOT A THERAPIST, PSYCHOLOGIST, OR MEDICAL DOCTOR.
​​
If you're interested in working with me, I recommend you at least read some of the testimonials; and I recommend you do that with any coach you come across.
