Professional and life experience

In addition to my formal education and certifications, I bring over 20 years of experience as a pastor, where I’ve had the privilege of helping people through a wide range of challenges, including emotional wellness, leadership, family dynamics, and mental health. As a pastor, I not only provide spiritual guidance but also manage the business and administrative aspects of church life, including leading both paid staff and volunteers, creating and managing budgets, and organizing community service events. This has given me a unique perspective on leadership, teamwork, and service.

Before becoming a pastor, I gained valuable experience in crisis intervention and high-pressure situations as a police officer, **Emergency Medical Technician (EMT), and volunteer firefighter. These roles provided me with hands-on experience in managing crises, conflict, grief, trauma, and critical decision-making, all of which have deeply influenced my coaching approach. I’ve worked in high-stakes environments where emotional resilience, quick thinking, and empathy were essential.

Additionally, as a U.S. Army Gulf War-era veteran, I understand the challenges of transition, resilience, and leadership, particularly in high-stress environments. My military background has reinforced my ability to remain calm under pressure, navigate complex situations, and support others in their growth, whether personally or professionally.

These diverse experiences give me a comprehensive and compassionate approach to coaching. Whether you are facing personal struggles, leadership challenges, or navigating difficult life transitions, I have the training and real-world experience to guide you with empathy, wisdom, and practical solutions.
