I’ve spent my life in a lot of different arenas—US Army aviation, business leadership, public speaking, writing, and now spiritual direction. The titles changed, but the same question followed me everywhere: What’s the point of all this if the soul is empty?
I wasn’t always someone who talked about faith or spiritual life. I was trained to lead, to get things done, and to push through whatever hurt. I did that for years. It worked—until it didn’t.
I’ve known success. I’ve also known addiction, loss, and the quiet collapse that happens when you build a strong outer life and neglect the inner one. I tried self-reliance until it nearly ruined me. Recovery forced me to face the truth: strength isn’t about control—it’s about honesty. And real change doesn’t start when life is perfect; it starts when you finally stop pretending.
That’s where my work now is rooted.
Today, I help people pay attention to what’s happening inside—the part we usually avoid until life falls apart. Through New Mindset Pathways, I walk with individuals and groups who want a deeper relationship with God, who are tired of shallow religion, or who just want a quiet place to ask hard questions without judgment. I don’t give easy answers. I help people listen.
But I also believe faith means something in the real world. It should shape how we lead, vote, speak, and treat each other. That’s why I founded Allied We Can, a coalition that exists to defend truth, stand against division, and help people engage with compassion and conviction—not anger. My book, Allied We Can Find Common Ground, grew out of that same belief: we don’t fix a broken world by yelling louder—we fix it by becoming the kind of people who are grounded, truthful, and courageous.
I’m still the person who loves a challenge. I like to ride long miles on desert trails and Michigan dirt. I still carry the discipline the Army gave me. But now my life isn’t driven by achievement only—it's anchored in something deeper.
Here’s what I know:
· You can lose everything and still find meaning.
· You can question your faith and still find God.
· You can lead without pretending to have it all together.
If you’re in a season where life has come undone—or you just want to live with more clarity, courage, and spiritual depth—you’re not alone. This is the work I’ve committed my life to.
Not because I figured it all out.
But because I’ve lived it.
If you’re reading this, chances are you’ve felt it too. You might be standing at the edge of a major transition, uncertain of what’s next, I’ve been there. You could be grieving a loss or longing for healing that seems just out of reach. Perhaps your faith feels unfamiliar, the beliefs that once anchored you now shifting beneath your feet, I remember that cloud of confusion well. Or maybe your heart is simply yearning for a deeper connection with God, for a fresh encounter with the sacred that feels real and alive again.
If something in you is stirring, perhaps a question you can’t shake, a longing you can’t name, that’s where the journey begins. Whether you’re seeking deeper clarity, more grounded leadership, or a renewed sense of purpose, I would be honored to walk alongside you.
