"I live the paradigm of transformative coaching, inspiring others to live a life of personal and professional greatness.  Transformative coaching is an empowering process that inspires others to choose the beliefs and behaviors that evoke a life experience in alignment with their core being.  Whether the call for transformation comes from individuals, teams, or communities, the initial step lies within each individual whereas the best thinking and execution typically lie in partnership.

"I have over 2750 hours of coaching experience, have been a leader in business, health, and educational environments, as well as an entrepreneur for 12 years, trainer and speaker.  My destiny has always been calling forth heightened awareness and greatness in others to embrace a new way of being in our world."
