• I became a Certified Life Coach in 2008.

What background and experience do you bring to your coaching practice?

• Business Leadership & Innovation: Over 20 years as a small business owner in telecommunications and product R&D, developing systems that set nationwide industry standards.

• Entrepreneurship & Diverse Expertise: Executive experience across multiple industries, including general contracting, land development, private trust management, agricultural business, and creative arts management.

How does your background benefit me as a client?

• Life rarely happens in a vacuum, and real transformation requires more than high-level theory. Because I have managed major business operations, navigated high-stress legal and financial structures, and overcome deep personal obstacles, I bring a rare blend of grounded practical strategy and deep emotional empathy to everything I do.

Whether you are navigating a life transition, building personal resilience, or restructuring your vision for the future, I provide actionable tools backed by genuine lived experience.

After purchase, can I print out my book?

• Yes. After purchase, an email with a link (active for 48 hours) to

  download a PDF copy will be sent to your inbox.

Can I benefit from only purchasing one book in a series?

• Yes, the books may be used separately to focus on specific topics.

Can I use your book(s) to lead a small group?

• I would love for my products to be used in a small group setting. I prefer that everyone purchase their own set of books instead of copying without permission. But, they're reasonably priced for that purpose.

I’m in my first marriage. Can I still benefit from these tactics?

• My books would be very beneficial for the first time marriage or relationship partners.

I need help troubleshooting my printer. How can I attain the best print quality?

• If you’re a windows user: Open the PDF in Google Chrome. After clicking the printer icon, hit the “More settings” drop down menu. Then change the scaling to “Custom”, then 100%. After this, click “Print using system dialog” and choose “More settings”. At the top click “Main”, then choose “High” print quality. Next, choose the “Page Setup” tab at the top and click on “Scaled” within the Page Layout menu. Click “OK” and “Print” in the still open printer menu.

  Tip: If the output quality of your at home printer isn’t to your liking, ask your local library about using theirs.
