I have been doing the work of alignment for over 20 years, from ministry to coaching, from my own businesses to my clients’ businesses, from my personal life to the lives of thousands of people I have guided and served.

As a young man I was driven to become a two-time Division I All-American collegiate wrestler while earning my bachelors in engineering and my masters in project management from Northwestern University.

I started my career with a general contractor in Chicago working on a large, high-profile commercial project downtown. After a few years of grinding in the world of big-city construction, I transitioned into ministry work where I served as a youth and small-church pastor in several churches throughout the Great Lakes region.

After a turn of events led me back to my professional career, I went on to co-found, lead, and grow a successful construction consulting company that was recognized in 2014 as one of the Inc. 5000 fastest-growing companies in America. During that time I consulted on over $5B of commercial construction projects and worked with many general contractors on the Top 50 ENR List, several owners who were building $100’s of millions of capital projects, and a few high-performing trade contractors. I also gained deep experience in information technology applications, process improvement, and accounting systems.

In 2016 I sold the company to my business partner and in 2017 I began a personal journey focused on aligning all the areas of my life beyond business, from my body and my spirituality, to my marriage, my family, and my relationships. I sought out several coaches and began applying practices and techniques to bring my life more into balance and harmony. I also rediscovered my love of nature and had the opportunity to hike some of the most incredible trails in the US.

By 2018 I decided to start my coaching business, Higher Purpose, while simultaneously obtaining multiple certifications, including executive coaching through the Weatherhead School of Management. From 2018 to 2022 I coached hundreds of men, most of whom were entrepreneurs and business owners, helping them transform their personal and professional lives. During that time I developed and refined a process for internal alignment called Pitwalking, focused on rewiring our subconscious mind in order to liberate ourselves from limiting beliefs and open up new possibilities of abundance in all areas of life.

In 2022 I realized that I could combine my coaching skills with my consulting expertise and deliver even more value to my clients, so I transitioned from guiding business owners outside their businesses to working alongside them within their businesses.

It has been great to roll up my consulting sleeves again and add value to businesses while continuing to help business owners change their lives for the better. My unique approach and combined skillset makes me a trusted companion and valuable team member with business owners who want to grow their businesses and themselves.
