I literally grew up in Mr. Rogers’ neighborhood in Pittsburgh—played backyard football with his kids. I’m told I carry his gentle strength: kindness with conviction, compassion with clarity. As a kid, I was always very curious about the mind and how life works (still am!). I tend to see the world a little differently than most; it’s just how I’m wired.

This led me to earn three advanced degrees, practice meditation for 40+ years, teach at several universities, run a boutique consulting firm for 3 decades, raise a big family, write a leadership book, and now coach truly extraordinary leaders.

Most important, I have an innate ability to connect deeply and quickly—seeing the power you may not yet see in yourself. I hold up a zero-judgment mirror so you can embrace your beauty, pain, love, and potential, then help you put it all to work to become the extraordinary leader you know you are here to be.
