About Me

Growing up surrounded by family challenges related to mental health and substance abuse, I've grappled with feelings of inadequacy, anger, and resentment from a young age. Instead of being defined by these experiences, I used them to develop a keen eye for the finer details of life—an essential skill when navigating uncertainty. After reading Viktor Frankl's Man's Search for Meaning, I found purpose for my pain, which helped me realize that even in the direst circumstances, we can find meaning and direction in our lives.

​

During my adolescence, mentors taught me to focus on my potential rather than my circumstances. As a young adult, my struggles with fear and anxiety led to patterns of control and a pursuit of perfection, feelings that often left me feeling inadequate. My passion for sports took me to Springfield College, where I embraced the motto "Spirit, Mind, and Body," setting me on a path of disciplined self-discovery.

​

A pivotal moment came in 2019, when a serious medical condition and subsequent major surgery forced me to reevaluate my priorities and embrace self-care and the art of letting go. This experience deepened my commitment to personal wellness and maintaining balance in my life.

​

Now, with sharpened skills in observation and reflection, I've developed effective strategies and techniques that have helped countless clients navigate life's challenges. I believe in the transformative power each person has to change their circumstances.

​

Today, I consider my life profoundly blessed. I have a wonderful family—my wife Heidi and our two children, Sophia and Vance. I cherish every moment with them, and they inspire me to help others discover their purpose and values. My commitment to my family and community is paramount. In my spare time, I am constantly curious; I enjoy fitness, learning about science and wellness, and love improving things, whether it's working on my property or cleaning up the community.
