About Your Retreat Leader & Facilitator
My path has taken me across boardrooms, backroads, and deep inner landscapes — and it’s from that full spectrum that I show up to guide this men’s retreat.
Before I began as a coach and retreat leader/facilitator, I spent 15 years in the corporate world — first leading operations in the car wash industry, then growing into HR leadership roles that had me working with everyone from local entrepreneurs to executives at Fortune 500 companies. I’ve seen what it takes to lead from the outside — and more importantly, what it takes to lead from within.
I earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Human Resource Management at 31, taking the scenic route — which I’ve come to believe is the most meaningful one. I also hold certifications as a Professional in Human Resources (PHR), SHRM-Certified Professional (SHRM-CP), and I’m trained as both an Insights Discovery Practitioner, Somatic Breathwork Practitioner, Neuroscience of Change. These tools have deepened my understanding of communication, alignment, and what it means to live authentically.
But it’s not just my resume that brings me here. My most pivotal transformation came in 2011, when I made the decision to get sober after a five-year battle with alcoholism. That moment cracked me open to a deeper journey — one that’s been filled with healing, rebuilding, self-compassion, and discovering what it means to truly live with purpose.
I know what it’s like to feel disconnected, stuck in old patterns, or like you’re carrying a weight that’s not really yours. I also know what it’s like to choose something better — not just once, but every day. That’s the work I’ve committed to. That’s the life I call “earned.” And that’s the path I help other men walk.
If you’re feeling the pull toward something more — more clarity, more authenticity, more peace — you’re in the right place. This retreat is a space to remember who you are, reconnect to what matters, and step into what’s next with strength and intention.
I’m grateful you’re here. Let’s do this — together.
