About Your Coach

At age 29, I thought my life’s choices were over and that my career was set for life. I hired a coach and my life’s never been the same.

Since that time I’ve beat cancer, walked through a divorce in freedom, bought and sold a house, found new love, developed a huge network of friends and supporters, developed a new career and celebrated the acheivement of an MBA. And I decided that since my coach was so helpful to me changing my life on my terms, I wanted to do the same for others.

Work Full.

At one time in my life I was running three non-profits, employed full time at a fourth organization, and attending school to get my Bachelor’s degree. When I put my work hat on - it’s on! I put my whole heart into the work I do. I’ve installed computer training centers for migrant and seasonal farmworkers, taught children how to take care of historic cemeteries, and led the development of a choir’s first full season of concerts.

Playful.

My favorite vacation is between Denver and Las Vegas. You can find me writing in my journal in a downtown Denver cafe, rafting down the Colorado River near Moab, Utah, hiking to Anasazi ruins in Canyon de Chelly in the Navajo Nation, and relaxing poolside at a resort in Vegas. This is my idea of play. Man, do I have the time of my life! Not to mention a sense of humor from risque to ridiculous.

Live Full.

I am bold, expressive, daring, exciting, passionate, caring, loving, curious, risk-taking, and embracing. It’s a choice I’ve made of how I’m going to live my life. I choose to experience the world in my way. I choose the characteristics of my life. I choose the dynamics of how I show up in the world. This is my life. And this is your life.

    I went to the gym this morning and all I could think as I got ready and moved towards the treadmill was how much I’d rather be anywhere else. I wanted to cry, pout, complain, and wiggle my way out. By the time my 5k was up, again I wanted to complain because I didn’t [...]

    I guarantee that if you’ve done any reading or listening to self-improvement that you’ve heard to live every day like it’s your last. Then you could say I love you, do the things you’ve been hesitating to do, and feel free. That’s wonderful - yet it’s not the whole story.
