The climb
Six startups. Two exits. The biggest was a healthcare technology company we co-founded and scaled across fifteen years — a team that delivered hundreds of millions in savings to hospitals along the way, made the Inc. 5000, made the local Fast 50, and learned the hard difference between what scales and what just looks like growth.
The pivot to coaching came from a simple realization: the disciplines that built that company are the same ones most leadership teams never quite install. Not because the playbook is hidden — because the cadence to live it is what's missing. That's the work now. Leadership teams of two to eight, installing the operating cadence that frees the founder and keeps strategy from fading by Friday.

Off the clock
Three things the calendar still makes room for.
When the work shuts down, I'm usually on a pickleball court somewhere — competitive 4.0+ level, still chasing the next point. The bourbon collections are not my thing, but my bourbon selection of 200+ bottles are meant to be enjoyed with enthusiasts, friends, and the curious; if you bring something interesting we should compare notes. And grounding everything in my faith brings authenticity and meaning to everything I do. Coaching is merely the channel God has me in to bring blessings to others.
A portion of the home bar. Bring something worth swapping, and we'll compare notes.
After the match — regrouping with the Bloom Growth coach community.
