​Growing up and knowing that I was attracted to men is what sets my mentality apart. I spent much of my childhood feeling isolated, shameful, and embarrassed of who I was. I felt as though I couldn’t speak to my closest friends, family, or mentors about my most hidden secret. The shame caused me to turn inward and left me to figure out what being a gay man was for myself. If I can help anyone, especially those who identify as LBGTQ, I feel I am doing what I can to prevent someone from going through what I went through. My goal is give anyone guidance and coaching who is willing to accept my help.

Going through life I had this image that certain people "had it all figured out" and others didn't.  As I've surrounded myself with people that inspire me, push me to pursue my dreams, and encourage risk taking as long as it comes with a thought out plan, I have realized we are all figuring it out as we go.  As we progress we are hoping it looks like we “have it all figured out”. Being vulnerable and dropping my ego when working with clients is my number one goal.    ​

Coaching for me was the answer to that.  Thinking through my life journey, it would have benefitted me significantly to have a coach available to help convince myself I am not a "dreamer" or "unrealistic".
