Hi, I’m Andy.

I am extremely curious about knowing people…

…and am most fully engaged with my own life when I am deeply engaged in assisting others along their journey. I like to ask deep questions and am not terribly interested in small talk. I have had a tremendous amount of success in my life, both professionally and as a Division I soccer player, but my failures have by far been the most instructive teachers.

I was often disappointed in myself for not having a clear, decisive, and sustainable career vision. I was sometimes unsatisfied and restless in my work, but unsure how to proceed. I now follow my curiosity and live almost entirely from the inside out — following my own sense of what will be the most regenerative use of my energy and abilities.

A pivotal year that informed many of my current philosophies…

…was my time spent in Germany during college, which was a grand experiment in stripping away everything familiar. I navigated periods of excitement, depression, frustration, and eventually developed a deeper sense of humility, compassion, and self-awareness. By the end of the year, the unfamiliar had become a sense of comfort and familiarity, which would lead me to eventually spend another 4 years living outside of the US.

I have had two distinct careers in my life: high tech, and education. Both brought me to the realization that I want to be of service in a coaching capacity. In the tech industry, I learned that I enjoyed helping clients find solutions to their problems. I also loved teaching classes to sales teams, which led me to receive my Masters in Education and teaching license.

I then found myself teaching SAT classes and running a private test prep academy in Austin, TX. What I loved most about this role was helping students change the way they saw themselves, and guiding them in their development of a growth mindset for life.

My past experiences have led me here: to coaching.

Am I the right coach for you?

I don’t know this answer either, and that’s why I offer a free Discovery Session. If the space between us feels encouraging and supportive, while simultaneously nudging you towards your discomfort, you will know this intuitively. And, if you like how it feels, I look forward to partnering with you on your journey to lead a life of growth, change, vulnerability, and authenticity.
