I know what it’s like to feel out of sync with yourself. Growing up as a gay man, I spent years trying to fit into boxes that weren’t made for me—alternating between hiding, striving, and constantly chasing approval. After being outed at 14 and bullied for being gay, I found myself stuck in cycles of overachievement and conformity, battling self-doubt, internal shame, and challenges with connection. I’ve been labeled “Type A,” “Overachiever,” and “Perfectionist” and, while I had an amazing string of successes throughout my life, I internally felt stuck in a doom loop of achievement, validation, and all the while subjecting myself to paralyzing self-criticism. Sound familiar?

It wasn’t until a major life shift that I stopped and asked: “What do I really want?” and “What am I here for?” That moment changed everything and inspired my journey to become a coach.

Through lots of self-reflection, grace, mindfulness, and my work, I’m building a life I’m proud of—one full of purpose, authenticity, and connection. Today, I coach other gay and queer men ready to write their own stories, break free from old patterns, and step into the confident, connected, and fulfilled lives they deserve. Additionally, I co-lead groups of gay men with my husband of 16 years, who is also a coach, working through structured skill development, deepening connections, and helping them break the patterns of loneliness that can easily take root in our modern society.

My coaching blends a whole-person approach with practical tools, backed by training at the Co-Active Institute and a 30-year career spanning leadership, entrepreneurship, and personal and organizational development. As an ISSA-certified personal trainer, I also know the importance of tending to both mind and body in creating balance for yourself. Here’s how I can support your journey:
