About Me

I work at the intersection of youth development, leadership, and mindset.

​

For more than 30 years, I’ve been a coach, nonprofit leader, and builder—most recently serving 16 years with the Rogue Valley Timbers Soccer Club, where the work was never just about sport.

It was about people, culture, and helping kids grow into themselves.

​

Today, my focus is on two things:

• Optima Mindset Coaching — helping teens and young adults build confidence, resilience, and clarity under pressure
   

• The Club Playbook — supporting youth sports organizations in building healthier systems, stronger cultures, and sustainable impact.
  ​

I also write at Reflections of a Father, where I explore parenting, emotional growth, and the long game of raising children.

​

This site is a simple gateway to the work I’m doing now.

If you’re building something that matters—and want a thoughtful partner along the way—I’m always open to a conversation.
