I never thought I'd be here. My early life was a challenging path: a high school dropout experimenting with drugs, adrift and without direction. At 19, a profound spiritual awakening pulled me from that destructive course. It ignited a relentless pursuit of purpose, leading to my GED, a double major in college, and service in the U.S. Army's Military Intelligence Corps after 9/11.

​

In my adult life, I built a successful career in global recruiting, a path I've thrived in for the last decade. Yet, through every struggle—from the deep abandonment and betrayal I faced both in my childhood family of origin and later in my marriage, leading to my divorce, as well as a near-fatal heart attack—I discovered the profound power of a growth mindset and an unshakeable belief in transformation.

 

This deep well of experience and passion ultimately led to the birth of Brilliant Life Collective.

Now, armed with two master's degrees (Master of Divinity and Master's in Management & Leadership) and a life coaching certification, I coach men navigating divorce and life's toughest circumstances. Coaching is my passion, allowing me to guide them from breakdown to breakthrough, proving that even after the darkest chapters, a new story of strength, purpose, and spiritual growth awaits.
