Helping you

be better today.

It's time to face the facts and be honest with ourselves. If we find ourselves constantly praying to the porcelain god every weekend, it might be time to make a change. We don't have to struggle alone, though. As an alcohol-free life coach, I can support you in finding a way to start your journey towards a healthier and happier life. Let's work together to create a plan that works for you.

Hey there! I'm a father of 2 and a seasoned lived experience educator who knows a thing or two about life without alcohol. With 9 years of sobriety under my belt, I can confidently say that quitting drinking took some serious stubbornness. After 10 years as a high voltage line tech foreman, a divorce, and a diagnosis of ADHD at 33, I decided to shift gears and make a change. Creating a community that fosters connection and support for those on their journey to sobriety is what I'm all about, and I'm here to work with you to create a customized plan that works for you. Because you don't have to do this alone.
