I’ve been a professional coach now for over twenty years, and have coached over a thousand professionals. As VP of Career Services at a Philadelphia area college, I gained the skills and insights that led me to open a career coaching practice. I named my practice Life in Progress because I believe we’re always evolving and making new discoveries. There’s no “one size fits all” and we never stop growing. Prior to that, I had a rewarding 20 years in management and executive roles in business and not-for-profit organizations. I’ve worked in educational publishing, geospatial technology, and medical malpractice consulting. I also have an MBA, although, as I like to say “Not so much as it affects my judgment”. My most rich and effective source of wisdom is my family. I’ve been married for 40 years to my college sweetheart, and I’m ‘Dad’ to two wonderful children, now adults. They teach me, daily, what it means to love and be loved, and inspire me to be the best version of “me” I can be. For fun, I love to go fly fishing, take a long, leisurely walk in the woods, have strong coffee in the morning, and laugh out loud to most British humor. My gentle and goofy hound dog, Penny, is my daily companion, and likes to greet my coaching clients whenever she’s not busy sleeping. I’m blessed to have work, and a family, I love. I’m very grateful for those gifts.
