When I was 9 years old, my mom was in a horrible auto accident which left her severely disabled. I didn’t want anyone to experience the deep pain I felt; I developed a deep passion to serve and help others. At age 18, I was registered for engineering college -- I never made it -- two months after graduating high school, I was in a horrible auto accident which left me paralyzed from the neck down.
Miraculously, God healed me and I learned to walk again. I began to go through extensive career counseling (had an identity crisis). I studied 6 different majors and attended 5 different universities. I made all the classic mistakes: bad financial, relational, college, and career decisions. Once I understood my identity, everything fell into harmony. I live my life helping people avoid the pitfalls I fell into.
I am currently the President of YOU. Only Better.® - a coaching and training firm specializing in coaching: leadership, executive, career, life, family, and young adult coaching. I’ve been blessed to serve clients such as Sodexo, M&T Bank, HSBC, Kaleida Health, University at Buffalo, Canisius College, and over 100 others. I’ve been fortunate to travel the world and speak / coach many thousands of people. I’ve worked with amazing institutions doing global relief work to bring safe water, education, and job opportunities to developing countries throughout the world.
I stand on the shoulders of giants serving alongside them in many non-profit organizations working with boards of directors and administration in leadership, customer service, training, global relief work, and in other various capacities. To name a few whose influence I am eternally grateful for: World Hope International, Billy Graham Evangelical Association, New Life International, and others.
In order to provide avenues for others to realize their greatest potential, I created the powerful identity intelligence® coaching program which focuses on: Self Esteem, Stress, Relationships, College, and Career. We all struggle with some of these at some point in our life. God has wired you with a built-in ability to interdependently relate with Him to manage these things with wisdom and clarity. Understanding our identity is the first step to a life filled with joy and contentment.
Let me help you discover how your unique brain wiring can illuminate your talents, strengths, and natural energies as well as blind spots and potential derailers that can sidetrack you.
