WHERE PASSION MEETS PROGRESS

All our lives have been disrupted by ongoing global events. Uncertainty can cause hesitation, but now is the time to consider your next steps. Perhaps you need to simplify your life and clarify your priorities. Maybe you need to establish boundaries and take steps to invest in family and relationships. It could be that you need to take control of your health or your schedule. Consider your opportunity today to work with a life coach. There is a way forward.

You can take steps to thrive and reach your highest potential through a personal life coach. You have one life to live well. You can't go back and change the past, but you can look forward and change your future. You can take the next step to thrive in your life today.
​Let's work together to discover where you are, decide where you want to go, and clarify your next step. We will discuss your specific area(s) where you want to thrive and formulate a plan specifically for you; and at the conclusion of each session you will have a clear next step to take. You have gifts and talents your world needs and you can make a difference in your sphere of influence. The time for your passion to meet progress is now. Now is the time to thrive.

ABOUT ME

Helping ​people is my passion. I serve as the Director of the Center of Leadership Development at Bob Jones University in my hometown of Greenville, SC and love helping individuals from any life stage, background, and culture. My profession is to help young leaders develop themselves, lead their peers, and serve their communities. I am married to Fleur (a native New Zealander) and have two small children. I earned my PhD in Intercultural Studies and MA in Cross-Cultural studies and lived in Asia for six years teaching and helping to lead a multinational outreach center with over 1,000 student members. My hobbies include reading, writing, running, cycling, swimming, snowboarding, and eating my wife's amazing cooking. I have competed in multiple marathons, half-Ironman triathlons, and recently completed my first full Ironman triathlon. I have learned - through many ups and downs - that it is possible to thrive in every area of life...one step at a time.

Matthew is an expert question-asker and listener. He doesn’t settle for what is “good enough.” He models discipline, character, wisdom, and collaboration, and I am a better leader because of his example.
