Over the last 25 years, I’ve spent the majority of my working hours in 1-on-1 conversations with the best leaders out there.

Nothing intrigues me more than the tension they feel between deep impact and personal happiness.

For 18 years in the Christian non-profit sector and now 6 leading my own executive coaching firm, I have had the privilege of walking alongside leaders who are shaping their organizations and their communities.

And quietly getting more and more curious about their own lives. 

I partner with CEOs and business owners who are impacting others in powerful ways - and longing for lives that feel a bit more balanced, sustainable, and fun.

Alongside my team, I support Christian organizations with tailored coaching, leadership development, and consulting services, helping them deepen their missional impact by investing in their key leaders. 

If you’re leading world-changers and need some help - let’s talk.

Chick-fil-A offering free ice cream to families who put their phones away for the entire meal.

Let that sink in. 

One of the largest restaurant chains in the country felt the need to incentivize presence.

And honestly? I get it.

Phones didn’t just sneak into our lives. 
They moved in and set up shop. 

I’ve sat at tables with people I love, all of us together, all of us somewhere else. 

When I see this, I don’t think it’s gimmicky at all. 

Connection has to be chosen. Protected. 

Sometimes even incentivized.

And friends, ice cream isn’t what we’re hungry for.

It’s deep relationships and real fellowship. 

Permission to be with each other again. 

#1 meal no pickles? Anyone?

Helping faith-driven CEO’s lighten the load | Founder, Arthur Coaching | Advisor to $10M+ non-profit orgs

I build decks (sales & pitches, not patios) | professional magician | out here makin' friends

I used to help founders raise/sell millions with beautiful decks.
Now, I’m using AI to help humans heal their inner world.

Same storytelling skills. Different stakes.

I’m Head of Product & Ops at a stealth mental wellness AI startup, building games that help humans heal their relationship with self (the ‘what happened to you’ pieces).

On here, I talk about:
- Mental health & dopamine: the games our brains play, how tech makes it worse/better
- Storytelling: whether it’s a deck, a product, or a habit… story drives behavior
- Ops & product in the wild: what’s working (and not) as we build
- Books: I read 100+ a year and steal the best ideas shamelessly

For you? Well, you tell me…

Founder? Need a deck or website → DM and I’ll intro you to my partner. 
Ops/prod person? Follow for ops + AI wisdom from the trenches. 
Interesting human? Send me your favorite book rec.

Now we’re friends!

My girlfriend's reaction to cancer? 
She started a non-profit.

Carrie was diagnosed with Stage 3 melanoma almost exactly a year ago. I, like most of us, would have considered this a time to turn inward, focus on myself and my healing.

Carrie is not like most of us.

When she got her diagnosis, she also received news that because of the terrible things about to be done to her body, it was in her best interest to undergo fertility preservation.

Problem: she’d only graduated a few months prior.
And fertility preservation is usually ~$10K.

Obviously, didn’t have that kind of money.

Thankfully, her parents were able to help.

But most women aren’t so blessed. 
Most will forgo preservation entirely.
Focus on their cancer treatment starting soon.

And hope they can still have kids.

Carrie started Future Blooms to fill in this huge financial gap, one that is covered by almost zero health insurances, and comes in a critical (and fast!) whirlwind of emotions as you get a diagnosis, need to start treatment immediately, and somehow need to come up with funds to cover fertility ASAP. 

Why am I sharing all of this?

Carrie’s launched two months ago.
She’s already had a half dozen applicants.
Just finished helping out two different gals.
While juggling full-time work & marathon training.

And right now she’s out of funds.
And had two that applied yesterday.

Because of a sweet partnership with Utah Fertility Centers, fertility preservation for cancer patients is only $3K apiece. 

So I’m looking to help her raise $6K today.

I want to help these women have peace of mind as they are already grappling with the terror of a cancer diagnosis, and the impending unknowns of treatment and recovery.

So, calling on my network.
Any generous individuals or businesses.
I’m committing $1K to donate myself, 
Looking for the other $5K.

Who’s with me? 

You can donate here! https://lnkd.in/d3rqw4c2 

Utah (and everyone else) LFG!
