Executive Coach | Educator | Researcher

About Me
I help leaders grow through a blend of academic insight and practical experience. As a Lecturer in Management at Loyola University Chicago’s Quinlan School of Business, I teach organizational behavior and strategy with a focus on emotional and social intelligence, identity development, and leadership effectiveness. I also coach executives across industries, drawing on a 30-year career in business, advocacy, and education. I hold a PhD in management from Case Western Reserve University’s Weatherhead School of Management, where my research explored the role of emotional intelligence in leadership.My Coaching PhilosophyCoaching that meets you where you are, and helps you reconnect with what matters most.You don’t have to be in crisis to feel stuck.
Sometimes, it’s just a quiet sense that something no longer fits. Maybe it's how you work. Maybe it's how you lead. Maybe it's how you see yourself.I work with people who want to think more deeply about how they live, lead, and relate, especially during times of transition, reflection, or change. Coaching offers a space to slow down, explore what’s shifting, and align more fully with your values and goals.Clients often come to me when they’re ready for something different:
• The drive to overwork or prove themselves no longer satisfies.
• The old strategies aren’t working.
• A new question is starting to emerge.Together, we look beneath the surface, focusing not just on external decisions, but on the internal clarity and emotional alignment that make them sustainable. Whether you’re facing a professional pivot, questioning what’s next, or simply want to lead with more intention and integrity, we explore it with depth, curiosity, and care.My approach is grounded in my own experience as a teacher, researcher, entrepreneur, and someone who’s reimagined his path more than once. I bring warmth, structure, and a human-centered lens to this work. And more than anything, I offer a steady, nonjudgmental presence behind you, not in front, as you move forward.This isn’t about advice-giving or performance tweaks.
It’s about reconnecting with your own wisdom so you can lead and live with greater clarity, ease, and meaning.
