My professional journey began in a middle school classroom, where I spent 27 rewarding years as a teacher. I loved my work, but I had always dreamed of owning my own business—seeing it as the ultimate path to job satisfaction, personal pride, and meaningful rewards.
When the time came to pursue that dream, I took a leap of faith and met with a Career Ownership Coach® through The Entrepreneur’s Source. Through a thoughtful and collaborative process, my coach helped me clarify my goals, explore my interests, and evaluate opportunities that matched my vision. Together, we identified franchise options that aligned with my values, financial goals, and desired work-life balance.
Ultimately, while my wife Brenda and I were close to purchasing a franchise, we decided to go in a different direction. That decision led to an unexpected revelation: my true passion was in helping others, just as my coach had helped me. I knew I wanted to become a Career Ownership Coach® and guide others through the transformative process of discovering their ideal career path.
Now, as a Career Ownership Coach® with The Entrepreneur’s Source, I’m honored to work with individuals navigating career transitions. My mission is to help you explore new possibilities, define your goals, and uncover opportunities that align with your vision for the future. By using the proven processes and tools provided by The Entrepreneur’s Source, I’ll guide you step by step through your journey, empowering you to make informed, confident decisions about your next chapter.
When I’m not coaching, you’ll find me fly fishing and enjoying the great outdoors with my wife, Brenda, and our two sons, John and Colter. Having grown up in a small town in western Montana, I’m deeply connected to the beauty of nature and value the lifestyle it provides our family.
