Optimal Path Coaching
Equipping leaders for the long haul
Optimal Performance for High Impact Leaders
I am a former Navy SEAL Commander and combat veteran. Now I’m a resiliency coach for people in high demand roles who want optimal cognitive, physical, and spiritual balance so they can deliver the impact they want at work and the fulfillment they desire in their personal lives.
What is leadership resiliency?
Leadership roles are difficult and demanding and can take a toll on our performance, health, and mindset. When leaders have a bad day, it affects the the whole team. My mission is simple: to help leaders have their best days, more often.
My leadership resiliency coaching will strengthen the critical parts of your life that affect your performance and mindset so you can show up a better leader and have greater impact.
My method focuses on three performance pillars:
Cognitive: Brain performance and how sharp we are.
Physical: Our physical state and energy generation.
Spiritual: Alignment of our purpose and values.
I’ve found that optimal performance is achievable now and over the long haul if we bring all of these things together in an integrated approach.
But this is not just another wellness program. In the last 35 years, I’ve been in the high-stakes roles. I’ve led teams under critical no-fail conditions. I’ve operated at the edge of human performance. And when my life, health, and family started to suffer from the intensity of my work, I built an integrated resiliency program to help me balance it all.
Optimal Path is a resiliency program for people who do high impact work and want better relationships, health, and improvement in the most critical parts of their life.
Why Choose Optimal Path?
The demands and challenges of our lives feel relentless.
The communities we serve and the people in our lives, need us at our best.
Balance, purpose, and fulfillment can get buried under the weight of it all.
Yet, I know you have big mountains to move.
What’s the cost of doing nothing? Do you think you can grind through it for another decade? Your loved ones may have a different perspective. It’s tough, I know, because I’ve been in this exact spot, and felt the pressure from all sides. I can help.
There are lots of executive, wellness, and performance coaches out there. You can spend thousands of dollars hiring many different niche coaches, leaving you with the task to string together how it all is going to work in your life. An Optimal Path strategy does all of that work for you.
Why do I do this? Because I believe our society needs more of you and people like you. I have a passion for service. Now I serve by helping leaders sustain their performance and be their best so they can do the work that changes our communities for the better. It’s people like you who make our country stronger.
My Method
My focus is to deliver you an integrated strategy that optimizes your life to get more of what you want and less of what you don’t. It’s what I wished I learned 20 years ago when the resiliency of youth faded for the hard reality of high demand work colliding with raising a family and life balance. I’ve built a method where you don’t have to lose the intensity that you love, while building mind-body strength and resilience. I want you to have a lifetime of impact to your family and communities.
I will show you all I know about physical performance and the latest scientifically proven nutrition and exercise regimes to optimize your physical health for the life you lead. We will discuss exercise and nutrition that suits your lifestyle with a focus of optimal performance and longevity. We will explore brain health and proven methods that increase our cognitive ability and reduce the unnecessary noise. We will build a framework for your own spiritual journey, recapturing your greater purpose, that aligns with your core beliefs. This integrated package is what you will find in an Optimal Path strategy tailor made just for you.
My program is designed to meet you right where you are today.
Through one-on-one meetings, strategy sessions, and powerful development tools, we will:
Build an executable strategy to achieve your goals to have the life you desire.
Reinvigorate your purpose and reset your values.

Be a team. SEALs are all about teamwork, and if we are a team, then I’m all-in for your success.
Be flexible. Life happens. The approach we build will keep you on the path even when life winds in directions never anticipated.
