I spent my youth all over the western United States pursuing any interests that tickled my fancy – they were many and varied. I have a passion for new and awesome things – I think the feeling that I pursue over all others is Wonder.

I have a wife and three sons whom I love deeply. I spent my early career years earning degrees in creative writing and game design that I’ve used in the game development industry. Since then I’ve worked 5 years in wilderness therapy before arriving at Forte Strong.

I have a deep and abiding love for God and my belief system, and I feel that I’ve been given gifts that help me to connect with those who struggle or need support.

As a coach at Forte Strong, my central mission is to impart and instill healthy values in others, whether these values pertain to morality, society, or more general principles.
