Transform & Balance Your Life

Are you stressed and overwhelmed by
your job?

Falling short of the success you expected?

Stuck blaming yourself - or everyone else for where you are at?

Rock Solid Coaching is grounded in decades of experience navigating high-stress, demanding environments - and the hard won lessons about balance and fulfillment learned along the way.

Through experience-based coaching, I help you to reduce fear, regain balance and build a more fulfilling life.

I coach from lived experience. I value time with my wife, my family and my friends.

A work life balance is very important to me.
