It is a common belief that good coaches have been practicing their craft all of their lives. It is said that the desire to nurture and help people comes from within and is a feeling and way of life that the coach cannot help but to express. These statements exemplify my life. It has been my goal to demonstrate kindness, integrity and good will toward others. People know me as someone who is willing to lend a helping hand, a listening ear or piece of advice if they need it. This desire to communicate with people, help them and be a part of their lives paired with my John Maxwell Team training enables me to be a highly qualified coach on your path of fulfilling your goals.
My team spirit has been developed throughout my life from participating in sports such as soccer and lacrosse. This spirit was further developed while serving my country in the U.S. Navy during the Gulf War. The bonds made as part of these teams are a necessity to reaching a common goal. As your coach, my promise to you is to express the same level of commitment that was given to my teammates and shipmates to get you to your goals. We will be a team of two on this journey, which most will agree, is better than one.
My academic studies earned me a Bachelor’s of Science degree in Biology. This degree is currently being used in my work as an environmental scientist/project manager for one of the largest environmental and engineering companies in the world. While working in my current position, a local community college recruited me to teach Occupational Health & Safety as an adjunct professor. This experience opened my eyes to one of my true passions. Being in front of the class, connecting with and helping the students understand the curriculum and improve themselves was thrilling. The need to explore this passion was immediately evident. My enthusiasm allowed me to excel at teaching which in turn, lead the college to hire me to teach Biology and Ethics courses as well.
A new lifelong journey toward happiness and self-fulfillment has begun for me. My search for opportunities to help others has lead me to the John Maxwell Team. As a professionally trained coach, teacher, and speaker, my reach can be further extended to help more people find and achieve their path to greater fulfillment.
It feels so good to be on a path of success. I did it and you can too!
It only takes one event, one person, or one thing to change your life forever. It would be an honor and bring me great joy to be that one person as your coach, teammate, and partner through your life’s journey.
Be Yourself, Be Great, Be Happy!!
