This understanding led me to focus my work on Meta-Skills—the foundational capacities that determine how effectively we apply every other skill we possess, especially in the moments that matter most. Strengthening these Meta-Skills leads to more consistent, effective performance in all situations.
My background includes a master’s degree in psychology and multiple coaching certifications, including Executive Coach, Master Coach, and Youth & Family Coach. My work is informed by research in decision-making, emotional regulation, communication, and performance—but even more by years of working directly with people in real situations and seeing what actually improves outcomes.
Earlier in my career, I worked in sales and sales management, an experience that continues to shape my understanding of performance, accountability, and decision-making under pressure.
I’ve been married for more than three decades and am the father of three grown children—and recently became a grandfather. I have a deep appreciation for the outdoors, especially time spent by the ocean. I’ve long been fascinated by whales, and I currently serve on the board of the Mingan Island Cetacean Study, a research organization focused on blue whales and other marine mammals.
In different ways, both my work and my personal life have continually brought me back to the same idea: how we respond in the moments that matter most ultimately shapes the direction of our lives
