About me

One of my greatest passions is nurturing and developing potential. I believe that potential is something that's already within each one of us, and in every thing around us. Sometimes potential may not be visible yet and is just waiting to be noticed and brought to the surface. Or, maybe it's already visible but hasn't received the right kind of support and encouragement needed to reach its fullest capacity.

Looking back, I can see that my life has really been a search for my own potential. Although I was always bright and outwardly successful, inwardly I was often plagued by self-doubt, fear and uncertainty about the future. Depression was common and I developed an addiction to alcohol that lasted for 16 years. This addiction, more than once, threatened to take everything away from me that mattered most. Fortunately, I was able to find recovery and my life was transformed from the inside out.

In recovery, I began to experience life in ways I had never known before. I started to understand how I was causing my own suffering and misery without even realizing it. This understanding helped me to find a deep sense of freedom, empowerment, and true happiness for the first time. My whole attitude and outlook on life were dramatically changed for the better. Each day became a quest for purpose and the fulfillment of my potential. That quest is what led me to become a coach.
