Where This Comes From

A few years ago I was carrying too much — professionally and physically. Twenty years in investment management and global strategy across five continents. The career looked accomplished from the outside. The body told a different story. I was running on fumes and had been for a while, in the quiet way that capable people often do.

What changed things wasn't dramatic. I lost significant weight — and kept it off — not by burning everything down, but by learning to think in checkpoints. Small, honest, sustainable moves stacked over time. That process rewired how I understand change: it's directional, not dramatic. You need the next honest step and someone in your corner who won't let you bullshit yourself.

That same process eventually led me out of a career that no longer fit. The health transformation and the professional reinvention weren't separate events — they came from the same shift in how I thought about moving forward.

That's the philosophy behind everything I've built since — Chase Your Sky, SOAR Supplements, Skyburst, Sky Engine, and now coaching. I'm an ICF Member graduating from the ICA in July — because this work deserves rigor, not just enthusiasm.

What I actually do in sessions is act as a thinking partner — with a founder's bias toward action, a background in navigating real-world complexity, and a genuine belief that most people are one good question away from their next move.
