Founder & Coach

When I was a young child, I was adopted into a safe and loving home. Like many adopted children I was compelled to understand my true identity. Through a great deal of personal reflection and growth I was able to thrive. My journey compelled me to invite others to find their purpose and identity…their unique design.

I founded Elevate Coaching to focus on adolescents/young adults as well as their families to assist them in finding their worth, purpose and life direction based on their unique design. As a licensed educator and professional life coach, I am honored to use my experiences and expertise to coach individuals and couples that are pondering their life journey. I look forward to equipping others to use their deep personal insights to live a powerful and authentic life.

Founder & Coach

Growing up in the Northwoods on a small farm I learned to love the outdoors, adventures and hard work. I spent over 15 years in youth and family ministry where I mentored youth and adults in fostering better relationships in the family, while assisting them in finding their individual purpose and drive. I am now an author and coach, and love the adventure of being outdoors in northern Wisconsin where Cindy and I currently reside. I look forward to sharing our neck of the woods with people and coaching them to discover and fulfill their own life's adventure!

I am an author of the book, Your Wild Blue Adventure (and the accompanying travel journal) that guides couples and individuals on how to break free to an inspired life - and have the clarity, courage, and conviction to make a difference in their world.
