Helping individuals, families and organizations break free from addiction through coaching, speaking and recovery strategies.
Helping individuals, families and organizations break free from addiction through coaching, speaking and recovery strategies.
My mission is to empower people and organizations to overcome addiction by turning struggle into strength. Through honest conversation, practical education, and intentional support, I help lead recovery, build resilience, and create meaningful, lasting change.
That’s 1 in 7 people — chances are, it’s someone you know, work with, or love.
The vast majority stay stuck, not because they can’t recover, but because they never get access to real help.
Missed shifts, workplace accidents, and burnout drain teams — but recovery-ready workplaces get stronger and more profitable.
Whether you’re ready to quit, fighting to stay sober, or supporting a loved one, I offer one-on-one coaching and family guidance built on experience, empathy, and practical tools. My focus is especially on alcohol recovery, but the principles apply to any addiction. Together, we’ll work on building a life — and relationships — stronger than the struggle.
Addiction shows up on the job more often than people realize — from shop floors to boardrooms. I work with collision repair professionals, blue-collar industries, CEOs, and business teams to break cycles of stress, build addiction-aware workplaces, and create cultures where people perform at their best without destructive habits.
Prevention is leadership. I speak to schools, youth groups, and athletic programs to share honest conversations about addiction, identity, and choices. My goal is to equip the next generation with truth, resilience, and confidence, so they’re ready when the pressure comes.
From faith-based groups to community events and conferences, I deliver keynotes and workshops that combine raw storytelling with practical strategies. My mission is to bring hope, honesty, and resilience to every setting where people are ready to change lives.
Addiction often begins with one small decision. My goal is to reach students before that choice ever comes, giving them the truth, perspective, and tools they need to face pressure with confidence. I share real stories and practical strategies that build resilience, strengthen identity, and help them choose a healthier path forward. The best way to break addiction is to prevent it from taking root in the first place.
I was in the collision repair industry for more than two decades, and I know what it takes to run a successful shop. I started on the shop floor and worked my way up to co-owning a multi-million-dollar, multi-shop operation with five locations. Throughout my career, I’ve hired, trained, and managed teams, and made the tough decisions necessary to sustain and grow a profitable business. I’ve also seen the impact that addiction can have on a shop, its people, and its future, and I’ve faced those challenges personally.
In 2022, I reached a turning point when my struggles with alcohol came to a head. Faced with a life-or-death decision, I chose to pursue recovery. This decision ignited a new mission to help others struggling with addiction. Initially, I concentrated on the collision repair industry, where I've long recognized the need for support. Today, my mission has expanded, and I am committed to reaching and helping as many people as possible.
Before embarking on my business career, I was a Division 1 athlete and coached high school football. Sports instilled in me the values of discipline, leadership, and perseverance. Qualities that I now apply to help shop owners enhance performance, build strong workplace cultures, and tackle the often-overlooked issues of addiction.
Currently, I’m completing my bachelor’s degree in Psychology at Oregon State University, and I’ll release my first book on overcoming alcohol addiction and rebuilding your life this fall. I call Oregon home with my wife and daughter. My work is guided by faith, integrity, and the unwavering belief that it's never too late to rewrite your story.
