Find Your Calling. Find Your Champions. Lead with Purpose.
My life as a coach and leader started at seventeen when I felt a calling to uplift people like my tennis coach championed me to win the Texas tennis doubles championship. That was a gold medal moment for me. I embraced the role of servant in my church and found my voice as a speaker and leader, shaping the foundations of my coaching and entrepreneurial journey.
As I grew, so did my passion for understanding human potential. I embarked on a path of higher education, earning a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology and a Masters of Behavioral Science. I married my college sweetheart and now it’s been 40+ adventurous years. We launched two adult children and have two grandsons, Sawyer and Lincoln. In 1993, I started a private counseling practice which blossomed into a thriving enterprise to 5 office locations, 13 counselors and a clientele that surpassed my wildest expectations.
