My Approach

I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all model. Every leader, team, and organization is different, which is why I create tailor-made coaching and consulting sessions designed to meet your specific needs and goals. My conversational style is engaging, encouraging, and collaborative, but also designed to challenge you to grow and rethink key aspects of leadership, teamwork, and personal development.

Beyond the Office

I’m a husband to Joanne, a proud father to five daughters, and a “Gramps” to five wonderful grandchildren. We live in Leduc, Alberta, where I also serve as a District Coach for the Baptist General Conference. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family and investing in my local community.

Why Work With Me

Leadership is both a privilege and a challenge. My goal is to walk alongside you, helping you navigate that journey with confidence, clarity, and purpose. Let’s work together to create healthier leaders, stronger teams, and thriving organizations.
