To Know People Is to Love Life

First and foremost, I’ve always been a people person — not just someone who enjoys conversation, but someone fascinated by what lies beneath it. I was raised to believe that every person holds value, and that if you listen closely enough, you’ll find gold in everyone you meet. Some people get their spark from music or movement. Me? I get mine from meaningful conversation, from understanding what makes people tick... and helping them wind the clock forward again when life has worn them down.

They say “life is all about people” — and I believe it. Relationships, business, family, leadership — it’s always the people that make it work. For over 30 years, I’ve studied the human condition like a devoted craftsman, refining the art of discernment. Some people have perfect pitch for a song. I’ve been gifted by God with an ear for the soul.

​

I didn’t always know what my purpose was. In fact, like many, I wrestled with questions that echoed in the quiet moments. Then I met a Life Coach who helped shine a light into the corners of my calling — and everything began to make sense. My passion wasn’t just to understand people... it was to walk beside them, guide them, and help them remember who they were made to be.

From Tragedy to Truth

​

As a kid, my passport got worn out before most kids ever saw their first airport. My father’s military career took us across the world — culture to culture, accent to accent, heart to heart. I saw early on that no matter how different we look, we’re all reaching for the same things: love, purpose, and peace.

​

Then, at just 12 years old, my world cracked open. My father was killed during a military operation. Overnight, I was no longer just a boy. I became the oldest of three — shouldering a weight I didn’t yet understand. That experience, and the loss that followed, shaped me deeply. Life showed me early on just how fragile and fleeting it is. A vapor, the Scriptures say. And so I resolved to live it with meaning.

​

Though I grew up without an earthly father, I found my Heavenly one early on. Jesus Christ became my anchor — a steady light in both storms and sunshine. Alongside my mother’s fierce love and the voices of Life Coaches and Motivational Giants like Les Brown, Tony Robbins, and Jim Rohn, I found my compass. Without them, I might have taken a much darker path. Instead, I discovered the power of transformation, one insight at a time.

The Birth of a Mission

Today, I’m the proud founder of Enjoy Life’s Success — a coaching practice built not just from books and certifications, but from battles, blessings, and breakthrough moments. This company is my offering — a way to pay forward what’s been poured into me over decades of living, learning, and leading.

See, I’ve worn many hats — from food service to construction, military leadership to ministry. I’ve experienced financial failure and emotional trauma, relational disconnect and spiritual awakening. And through it all, one truth remains: Every person carries baggage. Whether it’s from broken dreams, unmet expectations, health setbacks, or hidden shame — we all carry something... and often, we don’t even know it’s weighing us down.

That’s where I come in.

Call Me a Doctor of Vision (with a Sense of Humor)

I like to joke that I’m a “pseudo Doctor of Vision” — helping people undergo a kind of mental LASIK surgery. We gently remove the cataracts clouding your clarity. Not with scalpels or stethoscopes, but with questions, insight, and Spirit-led direction.

​

Because here’s the truth: most of us don’t see ourselves clearly. We’re too close to our own lives. That’s why coaching matters. It did for me — and it might just be what unlocks everything for you.

So if you’re ready to stop squinting through your story and start seeing your life with fresh eyes — with purpose, passion, and power — I’m here.

​

Let’s clean the lens. Let’s rewrite the narrative. Let’s enjoy life’s success — together.
