What is my vision for my coaching practice?

I help fathers reconnect with their truest selves — the calm, confident core they were born with — so they can lead their families from a place of strength, truth, and love.At birth, we all carry a quiet knowing — an inner compass that guides us toward meaning and connection. But as life happens, we take on layers of noise: fear, pressure, doubt, anger, and old survival habits. Those layers dim our clarity and disconnect us from who we were meant to be.
My vision is to help dads strip away those filters — to “remember” their natural strength, compassion, and presence — and in doing so, become the kind of fathers who change the trajectory of their families for generations.
When a father heals his mind, the ripples reach far beyond him. His children feel safer. His partner feels seen. His home softens. And his family begins to trust again — not because he’s perfect, but because he’s grounded in authenticity and self-trust.
I guide fathers toward self-awareness, emotional regulation, and purposeful action — replacing old, reactive patterns with integrity-driven habits that bring calm and connection back to daily life.
This work isn’t just about helping men feel better. It’s about building homes rooted in understanding, laughter, and stability.It’s about helping families remember what love feels like when fear no longer runs the show.

Because when a father transforms, the world rises.

Life experiences I bring to my coaching

The past 25 years has brought me through an extensive journey in the training and coaching world primarily through corporate entities. I have done performance coaching for major orgs in the private sector, such as eBay, PayPal, Telus and a number of construction companies. To complement this experience, I have spent the last 15 years in the public sector working at the City of Vancouver as a public servant. There I help to grow a leadership mentality, among new and old leaders, that is people-based and interest-driven. I utilize personal connection, clear individual and group expectations, measurable outcomes and a heart centered model employing authenticity and vulnerability as the guides to personal growth – creating holistic, servant leadership. Currently, I am leading a department where I’m changing the paradigms of old ways, building an old leadership team into a new, and changing everyday lives for the workers below me. I am moving into practice to expand my influence on the globe we live in through independent coaching and training in the Vancouver area.

Anything else about Me

I’m a hypno-geek who loves to play with words. That sounds fun, doesn’t it?! I have a deep passion for connecting. I have a growing family and I am on an amazing journey that loves to throw me curveballs.

What inspires me most about the HP approach?

The seeding of understanding for one’s expression allows space to expand. Providing room for instantaneous growth and curiosity in the journey, it lends itself to creating a bare exposure, subconsciously allowing vulnerability in the moment of “A-ha!”

There’s nothing more genuine, raw or amazing than that type of true deep learning.

What unique talents and gifts do I bring to the community?

I bring authentic real personality. Unabashed curiosity (sometimes ignorance aka unknowing) and the ability to help with perspective, identify overlooked things. And a groan-tastic sense of humor.

What do I hope to get out of the community?

experience with other humans who have a desire to change themselves and the world. Contribute in whatever way is needed of me.
