We will discuss a specific area where you want to thrive and formulate a customized action plan. At the conclusion of each conversation you will have one clear step to take, and I will help you along the path with personal encouragement and accountability. You can impact your world through finding and developing your gifts. Perhaps now is the time for you to take action. Perhaps today is the day to take

Steps To Thrive.

ABOUT ME

“Although my memory's fading, I remember two things very clearly: I am a great sinner and Christ is a great Savior.” -John Newton

Newton's words summarize my life. I am first and foremost an undeserving recipient of God's amazing grace. God sent Christ to live perfectly and die on the cross in my place to give me new life. Each day is a new opportunity to praise Him for His kindness and share His abundant grace with others. As long as He gives me strength, I want to live a life that honors Him, reflects His love to others, and shares His truth in love.

Helping ​people thrive 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 have been trained in leadership coaching by Leadership Systems using the Master Coaching Model in addition to receiving training through leadership seminars around the country including the United States Air Force Academy, United States Naval Academy, the University of South Carolina and more.

I am married to Fleur (a native New Zealander) and have two young 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 spending time with family, reading, traveling, officiating college soccer, competing in triathlons, and eating my wife's amazing cooking. But I haven't always been so active. The journey has been long and hard, yet full of grace. I have learned - through many ups and downs - that progress is one step at a time.
