Let’s Grow Together
Reach out today to connect with me and explore how I can best support and guide you towards personal and professional growth and fulfillment.
Leadership Elevation Workshop
Immersive workshops that go beyond the buzzwords and into the heart of high performance. Drawing from years in pro sport and coaching, we dive deep into what it means to lead yourself and others—with grit, accountability, and purpose. Whether it’s building a resilient locker room or redefining leadership in the boardroom, these sessions are built to create real, lasting change in culture and connection.
Customizable for teams, schools, or executive groups.
Keynote Speaking
The Power of Grit: Passion and Perseverance in Sport and Life. This is my signature talk—raw, honest, and deeply personal. I take audiences through the highs of a dream realized and the lows of being knocked down by life. From scoring at St. James’ Park to facing identity loss, addiction, and a life-changing accident, I share how grit—true, soul-level resilience—became my way forward. This talk isn't just inspiration. It’s a challenge to rise, to rebuild, and to live with purpose.
Perfect for athletes, students, leadership teams, and anyone striving to overcome.
Guidance & Mentorship
1-on-1 Mentorship – For Athletes, Coaches, and Leaders Sometimes, we just need someone who’s walked the path to walk it with us. I offer limited 1-on-1 mentorship for those navigating big transitions—retirement, injury, identity loss, or leveling up. This is not performance coaching; it’s personal evolution. Through authentic conversation, reflection tools, and grounded accountability, we work together to uncover what’s next.
For those ready to do the inner work and show up vulnerable, real and ready for true transformation.
