​

ABOUT ME: 

I have always been guided by a desire to help people, especially youth, reach their full potential, and this informs my work as a certified life coach . I am a graduate of the University of Texas and began my career in the field of international aid work. In this capacity, I worked for the (Richard) Gere Foundation where I helped to manage human rights and healthcare programs in support of the Tibetan refugee community, and organized the Buddhist teachings of the Dalai Lama in New York City. After developing a deeper understanding of the positive impact of education on marginalized communities , I transitioned to the field of education and became a teacher at high-needs schools in Austin, Texas. I have spent the last 13 years as an educator where I have developed a leadership institute for students that guides them to develop a growth mindset,  improve self efficacy, and to connect in their community. Through my work as an educator, I have become acutely aware of many of the issues and obstacles facing youth today and this has brought me into the coaching world. I am a graduate of the Youth Coaching Institute , hold a CYRC( Certified Youth Resilience Coach) credential, and am currently working toward an ACC ( Associate Certified Coach) credential through the International Coaching Federation. It is my goal as a life coach to help youth and young adults harness their individual talents and knowledge in order to meet their full potential in all aspects of their lives. This is accomplished through an organic coaching technique where clients identify specific goals and develop understanding and awareness. Ultimately, this allows them to have a self- driven transformational experience. 

I am a native of  Austin, Texas  and reside there with my wife, 3 wonderful children, and 2 cats. My favorite moments are spent outdoors enjoying nature.
