Who I Am As the owner of Life by John and a specialist in the field of relationship and career coaching, I help people every day with issues such as family difficulties, marital disputes, and dating setbacks, as well as challenges such as difficulty with co-workers, unfulfilling jobs, an uneven work-life balance, and career transitions.

My Experience I am credentialed as a Professional Certified Coach by the International Coach Federation (ICF), and as a Certified Professional Coach by the International Coach Academy. With over 1,000 hours of direct coaching experience, I am well prepared to help you achieve a more fulfilling relationship and/or career.

My Education I hold a Master’s of Science in Psychology from the University of Phoenix, as well as a Bachelor’s of Science in Global Business and Leadership from Arizona State University. I find that degrees in both psychology and business help provide insight to many of the problems my clients face in their relationship and career challenges.

My Philosophy I pride myself in being a genuine and down-to-earth coach. I won’t tell you to “just be positive” or try to sell you on a five-step plan for a happier life that only I know about. What I will do is help you find a solution to whatever problem you are facing, simple as that.

My Values Authenticity in the way I conduct myself and in my coaching. Empathy in my communication and with relating to my clients. Honesty in how I present myself to potential clients and ensuring they don’t retain my services without all the information they need. Practicality in my methods for helping clients solve problems in order to reach a more fulfilling life.

His zest for life and for the lives of others is truly contagious – in partnering with John you can expect to experience a heartfelt platform to explore life's possibilities.
