The work has always involved people.
I spent 16 years in the United States Marine Corps and retired as a Gunnery Sergeant. My work included communications and network leadership, recruiting leadership, academy instruction, and service as a regimental suicide prevention officer.
Marines came to me regardless of rank. Teaching at the academy was another part of those years. Today, I work with people carrying real responsibility and real decisions.
I’m based in McDonough, Georgia, and work with clients anywhere.
How we work.
Private conversations are confidential. I don’t share your notes, name, or story for promotion.
Pressure Code™: Observe. Decide. Act. Review.
We look at what’s happening. You decide what matters and what you’ll do. You act on that decision. Then we review what happened and what you learned.
I won’t make your decisions for you. I’ll help you see what you’re deciding.
Thinking partner, coach, consultant, therapist.

A thinking partner listens, asks questions, and offers a perspective you can examine. You keep ownership of your decisions.
A coach helps you examine patterns, set goals, and practice changes.
A consultant brings expertise to a defined problem and may recommend tactics or provide agreed deliverables.
A therapist provides mental health care within their professional training and scope. Therapy can be part of your support alongside thinking partnership.
My work focuses on you as the person making the decisions. We use honest conversation and the Pressure Code to look at what’s happening and what you’ll do next.
