About Me
Turning Vision into Reality
When people align their work with their values, strengths, and passions, the world is a better place. That’s what I believe. That’s what I call feeling Most Alive. And that’s why I coach: to help more people do it.
Why Coaching?
Coaching has been a throughline in my life, despite taking me a while to realize it. As a collegiate baseball coach, I helped players break through barriers to unlock their potential, leading to tearful thank-yous and a first-in-years playoff run. In the corporate world, employees told me I should be a therapist after our 1-on-1s because those conversations had a depth and focus they weren't used to.
Even in casual conversations, friends left inspired to start businesses, write more poetry, pursue promotions, and take bold steps they hadn’t thought they could before. Eventually, I realized this might be something I should tap more into.
From Frustrated to Fulfilled
I had a successful career in corporate leadership (process improvement, operations management, strategic execution) but by the end of it, I was feeling more frustrated than fulfilled day in and day out. I realized I was only staying for the money, which I said I’d never do. So I left to explore what I’d really want to do, to build something that truly aligned with my values. That led to coaching through Most Alive, where I help people like you who feel like there’s more you want to do, more you want to be, if you could just ...
I help you bridge that gap between your vision (whether clear, vague, or scattered) and reality (whether you want to make a leap or keep your stability but add some passion). We’ll turn your ideas into structured action and real results.
My clients say I bring an “incredible gift for making a vision into a strategy, and that strategy into reality.” That I’ve been “instrumental to the growth of [their] company.” That after working with me, they feel organized, energized, and ready to accelerate forward.
Let’s Get You Unstuck
You can have what you want. You don’t have to turn your life upside down to do it. There is a way from here to the meaning and impact you crave.

Brand Origin Story: Following Curiosity
In 2021, a therapist helped me see that following our curiosity might be a good way to live. So what was I curious about?
At first, I didn’t have an answer. I lamented that others had their ‘thing’ and I didn’t.
In fact I wasn’t sure I ever would, because picking one passion meant ruling out all the others, and that terrifies me (still in therapy).
But then the idea hit me for how to embrace that: why not create a podcast where I talk to all different people about their different passions? You know, the type who light up when they get going about their ‘thing.’ And maybe it could grow to have a video element, where I travel all over the world, meeting new people, trying out whatever their hobby or skill or love is while simultaneously showcasing it to others, so we can all grow and experience more of the variety this life has to offer. Cooking? Guitar? Tribal dance? A science experiment? I’m in.
That felt like a life I’d love to live. The concept of asking, “What makes you feel Most Alive?” and the brand around it was born.
The podcast lives on as an oft-paused hobby and I’d like to evolve it. Aside from that, in 2023 I decided my professional career was no longer the type that aligned with the life I wanted to live. I stepped away without a plan, but with the belief that following curiosity and centering around who I am was the way to go. That led me back to the Most Alive brand, and for the first time to the thought of how it might mesh with my professional experience.
So here we are. I believe we’re Most Alive when we light up with our passions. Mine is helping people see, do, and feel that. I think we should all make our living being ourselves and doing what we love. Whether we work together or not, I hope you do more of what makes you feel Most Alive.
